I’m so excited to announce the addition of a new blog to the Fatfree Vegan family! Maria Theresa Maggi, known to some of you from her comments as Moonwatcher, has consented to write a journal about how eating a plant-based diet is helping her to reverse the effects of Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, and mild Cerebral Palsy. Maria is an amazing writer and an accomplished cook–a gluten-free, soy-free, vegan cook–and she’ll be sharing her recipes as well as her insights into life’s troubles and triumphs. Her blog, Plant-Based Slow Motion Miracle, has just begun, but she has so much to say that I know you will want to follow her story, so check out her blog, and while you’re there, be sure to sign up to receive email updates whenever there’s a new post.
Thank you, Maria, for sharing your wit and wisdom with us!

Submitting a Spark job using the CLI
The following example demonstrates how to submit a JAR or Python file to run on CDE Spark in Cloudera Data Engineering (CDE) using the command line interface (CLI).
Using the
cde spark submit command is a quick and efficient way of
testing a spark job, as it spares you the task of creating and uploading resources
and job definitions before running the job, and cleaning up after running the
job.
cde spark submit <JAR/Python file> [args...] [Spark flags...] [--job-name <job name>] [--hide-logs]
To see the full command syntax and supported options, run
cde spark
submit --help.
For example:To submit a job with a local JAR file:
cde spark submit my-spark-app-0.1.0.jar 100 1000 --class com.company.app.spark.Main
The CLI displays the job run ID followed by the driver logs, unless you
specified the
--hide-logs option. The script returns an
exit code of
0 for success or
1 for
failure. |

WWE Smackdown Review (Layin’ the Smarkdown)
October 10, 2015
By: Alex Kahrs of Wrestleview.com
Hello, Wrestle Viewniverse! It’s Alex Kahrs, ready to lay the SmarkDown on another edition of “Thursday Night SmackDown”! (Thank you Rich for being the only one I know that says that…)
New Day Promo: I love callbacks to history, especially when you randomly bring up Los Boricuas for some reason. Between that, mentioning Drake and Meek Mill, and teaching me a new way to spell “Eagles,” New Day were a blast to watch as always.
Dolph vs. Big E: I loved Dolph referring to the time Big E spent with him, again nice callback there. It was interesting to have Dudleys there at ringside, especially given they were taken down long enough for New Day to still play a factor in the finish. Good stuff here.
Rusev/Summer Segment: I’m starting to sense Lana’s involvement in this angle is over due to her recovering from surgery. Oh, well. I like Rusev’s counterproposal of wanting “gold around my waist before you can have gold around your finger,” I hope this is a sign he’s making a comeback in the title scene soon…any title, really.
Six Diva Tag: So glad WWE is following my lead in calling this new team Team NBC. Yes, I know it’s not that original…let me have my moment! Good match here, really enjoyed seeing the work from all six women here. Alicia Fox hit a Northern Lights Suplex, and I wanted to stand and applaud her. I’d forgotten how good she could be. There’s a glimmer of hope for the Divas Revolution yet. #GiveGoodBookingAChance
Paige Interview: I like her jealous look and attitude here. Again, this angle gives some more variety to the proceedings.
Ryback vs. Rusev: Good match from these two, solid stuff all in all. No shenanigans from Owens at ringside was surprising, but okay.
Bray Wyatt Segment: I love the Bray Wyatt character. Sure, he maybe hasn’t been given a proper push beyond “Hey I’m facing John Cena…oh look, I just lost, but I’ll get him ne–no, just lost again, drats” but the promos he delivers are, to me, so on point. Braun’s words take the whole thing just a little over the top, which is nice.
Barrett vs. Neville: Great work from both guys, nice to see Barrett back. Hoping all the best for him soon, would love to see another title run in the near future for the King!
Stardust Promo: Intriguing, to say the least. the bit about it being “written in the stars” has me trying to figure out who he’s looking to feud with next…unless it’s just a segue to another feud with Neville, but I’m okay with that too.
Main Event: Great bit of brawling between both teams. Based on the interactions between them, I’d guess that maybe Luke Harper and Braun Strowman take on Dean Ambrose and Randy Orton? Anyways, loving the different aspects of all this. I’m actually invested in this Roman/Bray feud now.
And before I wrap up, let’s talk about Booker T for a second. I see that the Bookerman has settled into the JBL role on SmackDown, and by that I mean “let’s cheer on the heels and make no sense in the process.” That’s okay, I guess. I respect you, Booker T.
So that’s it for this week. What did you think of SmackDown? Are you looking forward to Hell In A Cell in a couple weeks? Are they finally starting to give Divas a chance? Do you think Rusev and Summer will get married? Let me know in the comments, or on Twitter @Power2TheSmarks and let your voice be heard!
Speaking of voices being heard, I recently brought back the CHIKARA in 15 Minutes or Less podcast, which covers CHIKARA news and media in, well, 15 minutes or less. If you’re a fan of CHIKARA, a wrestling fan looking to learn more about CHIKARA, or just want to know why someone would talk about a single company for 15 minutes or less, come give it a listen! If you like what you hear, subscribe! It’s on iTunes and Stitcher now, too!
Until next time, this is Alex Kahrs reminding you to be excellent to one another. Party on, dudes! |

If you see a strange crow-like black bird with white markings on her chest and neck, it could be Diva the Crow, an escaped pet. Please call Catherine, 703/862-5283.
Diva is an African pied crow, who has lived with Catherine near Green Spring Gardens since late July. Diva flew away Saturday morning when Catherine was changing the water in her enclosure. The bird was hatched in June and is still a juvenile, so isn’t adept at landing yet.
Catherine saw her in a tree on Saturday evening but Diva was too scared to come down. She appears to have survived the storm Monday night, as she was spotted yesterday around 1 p.m. at Green Spring Gardens.
Someone also reported hearing her call at about 2-2:30 p.m. two days in a row near Fairland and Montrose streets on the other side of Little River Turnpike.
Someone also reported hearing her call at about 2-2:30 p.m. two days in a row near Fairland and Montrose streets on the other side of Little River Turnpike.
“She can look a little intimidating but is not dangerous,” says Catherine, a volunteer with the Raptor Conservancy of Virginia. If you see her, she might beg for food and might respond to the “Diva, up,” command. “If you are comfortable doing so, please offer her food and then hold her by the strings attached to her ankles and put her in a box,” Catherine advises.
Diva’s favorite food is Fritos and she also enjoys hamburger and French fries, but her regular meal is mice. She’s about a foot tall and weighs about one pound. Her call sounds like a cross between a crow and a goose.
African pied crows are common in Africa but are considered exotics in the United States, although you don’t need a permit to get one. |

Everyone’s hoping that the world will return to normal soon, but even without the challenge of keeping friendships alive that 2020 brought, your hobbies can help to build friendships. After all, even if your friends don’t practice your arty hobby, they’ll be flattered and pleased if you share the results with them.
These three hobby ideas may get you started doing something new and using the fruits of your labour to make somebody’s day. Need more ideas? A good hobby website will offer you even more pastimes to please you and those you love. Meanwhile, check our top three choices.
Try Your Hand at Knitting or Crochet
Knitting and crocheting may seem as old-fashioned as great grandpa’s Model T Ford, but trends in knitting keep changing, and every winter brings new knitwear fashions. Chunky knits are big this winter, and that’s good news for beginners. Everything’s just so much easier with big needles and thick wool.
Ponchos are in once again too. Great for knitting and crochet, making your own handmade Christmas gifts for friends and family helps them to see you’re thinking of them and are willing to take time and effort to hand-make something awesome. If you happen to be male, don’t be put off! Knitting is a wonderful hobby for men and women alike, and I’ve known a few men who produce fabulous knitwear items.OK so you may have to live with a bit of teasing, but you’re man enough to take it, aren’t you?
Grow Unusual Edibles
Whether you’re growing plants indoors or out, and whether it’s winter or summer, growing your own food plants is massively trendy. The ability to grow varieties you won’t find in mainstream stores is part of the attraction. From pitch black radishes to weirdly shaped peppers and deep purple tomatoes, there are some super-unusual heritage veg varieties out there.
Add colour and fresh flavour to your cookery and share your surplus with friends. Who can resist garden-fresh veggies? Herbs also offer a lot of interesting options. For example, there are multiple varieties of common culinary herbs like basil, thyme, mint, and sage. Package your favorite dried bouquet garni and you have a fragrant gift with a special flavour to share with the people you care about.
Take up Calligraphy or Quilling
The art of exquisite penmanship is not dead. Learn how to create beautiful, handmade calligraphy and use it to decorate anything from old-fashioned letters to greeting cards and artworks. As it is, a handwritten letter has become something special in today’s world – now imagine the thrill of receiving a letter in beautiful calligraphic script. Better yet, why not try quilling? Paper curls form gorgeous designs including word art messages.
Showing friends you care means taking time for them. If you have to do that remotely, you can still show you think they’re worthy of your precious time with your hobbies and handicrafts. Calligraphy and quilling allow you to handcraft personalized messages expressing meaningful thoughts they’re sure to appreciate. Once you get the hang of it, it needn’t even take all that long!
Share the Love
Whatever your choice of hobby, from painting or photography to veggie gardening, it can become a way to tell people that you care. At the same time, you can turn time on your hands into handwork that is sure to thrill and please those it is intended for. Be it big or be it small, the fact that it comes with your love and thoughts will mean a lot to those who benefit from it. So why not get started with your new hobby in 2020? You’ll be glad that you did! |

East Isn’t East Anymore
Just like their engineering counterparts in the aerospace, automotive and advanced manufacturing sectors, innovative British nuclear companies are increasingly looking towards new overseas markets in order to sell their hard-earned consulting expertise. Look closely at the financial accounts of Britain’s biggest FTSE professional service firms and you will see that most large consulting practices quietly earn over half of their revenues abroad. Indeed the UK market is generally too small to support multinational firms alone. Even smaller domestic nuclear SMEs are eyeing foreign markets, as much for post BREXIT survival as for growth. Sooner rather than later nuclear professionals tend to find themselves working in foreign lands. This modern-day nuclear Gold Rush lies in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and South East Asia, where civil nuclear electricity programmes are needed to power their rapidly growing industrial economies.
How to Compete and Win
British firms have a reputation for high quality. But also high cost. The simple fact is that local professional labour is often much cheaper in Eastern and Asian countries with their budget priced nuclear power programmes. How can British firms compete? The answer lies in offering a mix of technical expertise, outstanding customer service and – most importantly – a finely tuned sense of cultural awareness upon which to build effective business relationships. In short, knowing your customer is key. And this means stepping outside of your cultural comfort zone, by looking at things from a different viewpoint. Travel does indeed broaden the mind.
My experience of working overseas as a nuclear consultant has been overwhelmingly positive. Here are 10 quick tips for fame and hopefully fortune for those nuclear experts brave enough to venture abroad with their laptops.
Rules of Thumb for Working Internationally
Tip # 1. Walk in their shoes. The major difference between doing business in the East and the West is that personal relationships matter much more in the East than tender submissions. All other things being equal, clients would sooner do business with a trusted friend. In fact even if things are not quite equal, clients will still prefer to work with a friend rather than gamble on a cheaper but unknown alternative. Always try to see problems from the other person’s point of view – not your own. Put yourself in the client’s shoes. Understand the wider foreign context and the internal pressures that they may be facing. What motivates them? What does success look like for them? What outcomes really matter and what are less important? How can you genuinely help improve your client’s situation? Take the time to get to know your client deeply. The answers may surprise you.
Tip # 2. Deals are based on trust, not contract documents. Contracts tend to be regarded as the minimum level of performance. Foreign clients will usually expect you to deliver more than what the contract says. Going above and beyond without complaint is the norm for expat Brits. Besides, it is very difficult to legally enforce contracts in foreign jurisdictions. Nuclear energy projects are invariably closely linked to State governments, who can tie you up in red tape delaying payments indefinitely when displeased by under-performance. Getting paid mostly depends on whether the client thinks you have done a good job. Don’t get hung up on legal details in contracts. Arguing over small points sends the customer the wrong signal, that you don’t trust them. And trust is essential for doing business overseas.
Tip # 3. Be polite and courteous in all circumstances. The British have a reputation for politeness, courtesy, integrity and honesty. Live up to it. Overseas clients will respect and admire your Britishness, even in difficult situations. Your softer people handling skills will ultimately determine how successful you become overseas. A willingness to help is always a big plus.
Tip # 4. Avoid the hard sell. Hard sell is really a form of grovelling. Brashness hints at desperation which is never attractive for buyers of professional consulting services. They will wonder why you are quite so desperate. Professionals never grovel. So don’t hard sell under any circumstances, even if you lose to competitors sometimes. The customer may eventually come back to you when they realise why that cut-price deal they bought was so cheap or the consulting solutions didn’t work. Also, confrontational management styles rarely work in consultancy business situations. Collaborative diplomacy and people skills are the way to get things done abroad.
Tip # 5. Ask questions rather than give opinions. Gently asking your future client questions will give you much deeper insight into the underlying problems and issues that your client is really trying to solve. These may not be immediately apparent from a translated contract scope or tender document. For example, technical consultancy on the chemical composition of steel in nuclear transport flasks might reflect wider systemic difficulties with the regulatory safety case for spent fuel dry cask storage. The client’s real problem might be running out of spent fuel storage capacity, not chemical analysis of steels. But if you don’t ask “why?” you may never know. Avoid silo mentality. Try to experience a wide range of different technical and situational challenges. Develop crossover skills. Nuclear power projects are never undertaken in isolation. Many different people and skills must be brought together as a team. Understanding your client’s project in this way will lead to new business opportunities.
Tip # 6. Negotiate with patience. Foreign business deals usually require several rounds of downward negotiation to agree a final “best price”. But beware the technical scope will always remain fixed and in any case the consultant will be expected to exceed the contracted delivery terms. I have watched senior Arab officials quite literally throw a consulting proposal out of the room in feigned anger, but then minutes later be utterly charming when the price was halved for the same scope. Keep calm and carry on. Negotiate with patience.
Tip # 7. Don’t worry about IP. The British are above all else good innovators. Conventional wisdom has it that Eastern countries will steal your nuclear intellectual property in a heartbeat. British companies focus far too much corporate effort on vain attempts to protect their IP through complex commercial and legal contracts. For most practical purposes enforcing these in a foreign jurisdiction is impossible. You might win in Court but the process will take years and bankrupt you. Instead nuclear consulting companies should not worry too much about IP. Firstly because this misunderstands Eastern buyers. They want the very latest nuclear technology for their money, not older recycled background IP. In any case the raison d’être for using a high value British consultant is precisely to generate valuable foreground IP for the client. This should be part of the consultant’s value proposition and helps justify high consulting fees. Secondly, IP should be less of a worry because the added value that nuclear consultants bring to nuclear projects is largely in their heads – it is the expert ability of British consultants to solve complex nuclear problems facing a client here and now – and this can’t be copied. That is why British consultants are highly valued problem solvers. Although they do talk about the weather too much, which always puzzles foreigners.
Tip # 8. Be sensitive to wage disparities. Large disparities between expat and local wages can cause tensions on projects. Even quite senior nuclear officials can earn relatively low incomes by Western standards. While running a nuclear training course for some energy executives in South East Asia, I once complained about the high cost of my household gas bill. “Ian, that is more than my monthly income” my client gently chided me. I was mortified. Developing countries build civil nuclear energy programmes because they need them to boost their economy. By the same token these countries are not always rich. Beware of the social effects of wage disparities and always treat your clients with dignity and respect. They will do the same for you.
Tip # 9. Reach out to Commonwealth Countries. It is generally easier working in foreign countries that have a strong cultural association with Britain or were once part of the British Commonwealth. For example, Australia, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand and some Middle Eastern States are all undeniably foreign but have inherited some aspects of Britishness. Vietnam was once closely linked to France and retains its Western European cultural and architectural feel. Doing business in these countries is much easier than places with zero British heritage.
Tip # 10. Remember how lucky you are. Working abroad is a privilege. Think about your colleagues stuck in a City office, as you watch the sun slowly rise over the Arabian Desert at Barakah or fly low over the green jungle of Vietnam into DaLat. I’ve done both and they definitely beat life sat in an open plan corporate office near the M6.

Jakarta. Police in Jakarta have arrested six people, including a Libyan national and an airport quarantine officer, for the illegal trade in wildlife.
Officers also seized several live animals from the suspects, including a clouded leopard, a sun bear, four birds of paradise, and a siamang, a species of gibbon. All the animals are protected under Indonesian law from being traded.
Sr. Comr. Mujiyono, the Jakarta Police’s director of special crimes, said on Wednesday that the arrests and seizures took place over a period of 11 days, with the police working with wildlife conservation groups to uncover the trafficking network.
He said the animals were destined for the exotic pet trade in the Middle East, with the Libyan man acting as the buyer for clients in Dubai and Kuwait.
The other suspects, none of whom were named, are all Indonesians and served various roles in the trafficking network, including one suspect who worked as a quarantine officer at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, whose job it was to ensure that the animals could be smuggled out of the country undetected.
Mujiyono said the syndicate was known to have smuggled several animals abroad, including a sun bear to Dubai and two orangutans to Kuwait.
“Their operation was quite sophisticated. They used social media [to advertise the animals], so their reach was quite wide. It was a cross-border operation,” he said.
The suspects face wildlife trafficking charges under the 1990 Natural Resources Conservation Law, which carry a minimum prison sentence of five years.
The seized animals, meanwhile, are being cared for at Jakarta’s Ragunan Zoo.

Eagle Tribune Op-Ed
Don’t believe the slot machine hype
Barbara A. L’Italien
1. Have you done any fact-checking on the press releases generated by the gambling industry?
2. Have you actually played a 21st-century slot machine, the kind that will be installed here in Massachusetts?
3. Will you be one of the people spending over $5,000 a year at the slot machines, the amount needed to be spent to reach the profit numbers gambling promoters predict?
The reality is very few state leaders and news outlets have done any fact-checking during the slots debate. They merely repeat over and over the talking points from the gambling industry’s press releases that hype slots and the wonders they will provide. “Slot machines will stop global warming” one headline might declare. “Casino executives said today slots are the only answer to the looming global warming crisis. ‘The more money people spend on slot machines, the less money they’ll have to fill their gas tank, which means they’ll be driving less, reducing the amount of deadly carbon emissions being released into the environment.’” It’s hyperbole – but not by much.
Beyond doing little fact-checking, very few of these state leaders and media types have even played a high-tech slot machine, the kind they support making legal. These new machines are computer engineered to give the player a sense that they “almost” won, creating a rush of excitement which leads the player to feed more money in the machine at a faster and faster pace. That’s why public health leaders describe slots as the most highly addictive gambling product ever invented.
And while almost none of these slot machine cheerleaders have actually played a new slot, you can be certain that they also won’t be spending any of their own personal money in the machines if they are legalized.
In the last 25 years, no important state issue has received less media scrutiny than the issue of legalizing slot machines in Massachusetts. It’s time that changed.
There are several key facts that should be splashed across the front page of every newspaper in the state. Here are two of the most important:
* Fact: The amount of jobs claimed by the racetrack industry is greatly exaggerated and the jobs that are real will not be saved by legalizing slots.
Not one news outlet has dug below the surface to confirm the outrageous number of jobs claimed by the racetrack industry. Suffolk Downs, for example, counts over 800 racehorse owners as “employees.” But even more shockingly, a review of Massachusetts Racing Commission records shows that over half of these “employees” live out of state. That means at least one out of every five jobs Suffolk claims it needs to “save” with slots is held by an out-of-stater, and that’s to say nothing about where any of the other track employees reside.
The very idea that slot machines will “save” the racetracks is totally false. The head of none other than Churchill Downs himself declared that slots are not a long-term solution to saving the jobs of racetrack workers. Why hasn’t the media told the public this story?
* Fact: A vote to legalize slots at the racetracks is a vote to legalize casinos in Massachusetts without any local community control.
Federal law requires any recognized Indian tribe be permitted access to whatever form of gambling is legal in a state. Slots are defined as Class III gambling, as are table games like blackjack. This allows tribes to build casinos, with little state control and no accountability to local zoning or environmental laws. The racetrack industry’s press releases omit this fact, and the media has done very little to educate the public on the massive impacts of Indian casinos.
So why have state leaders and media done so poorly investigating the issue of legalizing slots?
In large part it’s because many of these leaders and media figures don’t play slot machines nor do they really know people who spend a lot of money on gambling. They are part of the elite. Many can’t relate to the notion of what the financial and social impacts would mean to everyday people to have slot machines in our communities.
It’s not meant as a criticism. Rather it affirms what is true for all of us – that how we think and act is based much upon our own life experience. If you don’t have experience playing the new slot machines or don’t know people who spend a large portion of their income on gambling, it becomes very hard to relate to what’s at stake.
Slot machines will not end global warming. Nor will they save the racetracks or be a cash cow for state government. But it’s well past time for the media and government leaders at all levels to give this issue the intense review it deserves.

Impending Doom is a Christian metal band from the town of Riverside, California. They have been on the metal scene for almost a decade now (seven years to be exact). The lyrics and themes in all of their music is heavily influenced by their religion, which is incredibly dominant in Impending Doom’s latest production “Baptized In Filth”, their fourth studio album. I had really enjoyed their preceding album “There Will Be Violence”. It was one of the few deathcore albums that I had on repeat constantly for a long time after purchasing it on a whim from a local record store. When I had heard that Impending Doom was going to be releasing another album, I was nothing shy of excited.
“Baptized In Filth” consists of ten songs that total a little over thirty four minutes. The production starts off with the track “Murderer”. As soon as the thirty second mark had hit, I had developed a smirk of bliss. The recurring lyrics, “I am a murderer”, have been replaying in my head all day. The very definition of deathcore heaviness can be portrayed in “Murderer”. It had easily stuck out to me as a song to put in a workout playlist.
Unfortunately, I was struggling to find those other “memorable” songs on “Baptized In Filth”. Don’t get me wrong, this album is jam packed with slamming breakdowns and moments to headbang (check out “Chaos: Reborn” for a very heavy breakdown near the end). This was the same concern I had while listening to “There Will Be Violence”. Most of the album was easily forgotten, while only a few songs had gained my attention. “Baptized In Filth” had about three good tunes while the rest of the songs felt as if they were “filler” so to speak. Other songs that I had enjoyed were “Angry Letters to God” and “Baptized In Filth”.
Andreas Lars Magnusson was the producer for “Baptized In Filth”. Their previous two albums were produced by Tim Lambesis, who is the vocalist for As I Lay Dying. I found it interesting that Lambesis was not a part of this album. With Tim being a devout Catholic like the rest of Impending Doom, the chemistry between them could not be more perfect. There must be a good reason as to why he passed or let Andreas take the reigns with “Baptized In Filth”. The album did turn out to be a success production-wise. The mix had incorporated a nice balance of guitars, bass, drums, and vocals. There was not an overpowering of any particular instrument which made “Baptized In Filth” easy to listen to. Impending Doom had created a deathcore album worth talking about for now, but not enough to remember a few years in the future.
When a song has the word “instrumental” attached to it, one would usually expect that vocals would not be present. The penultimate tune “My Light Unseen” is marked as instrumental, yet features guest vocals from Ryan Clark of Demon Hunter. If this wasn’t confusing enough, the vocals were clean and restricted any sort of screaming. Impending Doom has finally incorporated cleans into their music. The vocals did not add much to the song even though it should have just been an instrumental. If Impending Doom was going for more of an experiment approach to see if they could get away with this in “Baptized In Filth” or future productions, my recommendation would be to just get rid of that idea. Of course bands need to be able to evolve and tap into their full potential, but in Impending Doom’s case they are known for their aggressive and heavy music with no cleans attached. The final song entitled “Death. Ascension. Resurrection.” immediately reminded me of their first full length “Nailed. Dead. Risen.”. Both of the titles are obviously accrediting to Impending Doom’s very strong religious messages portrayed in their music.
Overall, “Baptized In Filth” is an album that would be enjoyed by many deathcore fans. It contains all the factors that would make any Impending Doom fan ecstatic. “Baptized In Filth” has earned a rating of 7/10. It will be an album that will definitely be spinning until something else really takes away the limelight. Maybe instead of being baptized in filth, the next album should consider being confirmed with benevolence.
Baptized In Filth was released on March 13, 2012 through eOne Music.

Posted April 21, 2017 1 hour ago, Channel4s-JonSnow said: This is my opinion too, I see May as a pragmatist above all, rather than some scheming opportunist. She might not have wanted Brexit but her job is to make the best of a bad job and try and get the best deal she can out of this for the UK. With that in mind I can't see much option but to vote for the Torys. With a more stable powerbase under her she would be less likely to have to pander to the nutjobs in her party pushing for extreme Brexit at all costs. I'm astonished by the massive push amongst my friends to vote for Lib Dems in order to reverse Brexit. Honestly its not going to happen, we need to close the barn door because the horse has bolted. There is about 20% of the electorate that is utterly opposed to Brexit, and would try to reverse it (and that percentage is far higher in Inner London, and the Stockbroker Belt). It makes sense for the Lib Dems, who won 8% last time, to try and corner that market. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites |

This is another great German recipe that never fails to impress my guests. Thin steaks are wrapped around an onion, bacon and dill pickles mixture and slowly baked in the oven in a very rich wine sauce.
Sounds very delicious and tastes amazing. This dish is so great for big parties as well as for a hearty family meal.
German Beef Rouladent tastes even better reheated the second or even the third day, if you will have any seconds. Enjoy this unique and delicious dish!!!

This vintage Sweetheart Needle book was produced in Japan circa 1940s - 1950s. This particular one is of a woman sitting in a chair sewing. The graphics are still quite bold on both sides, the condition I would rate fair to Good, as one side only has minor creasing along the bottom and the other side has a tear and creasing. The dimensions of the needle book are 5.00 x 3.37 inches closed at the widest point, and 5.00 x 6.75 when opened, and it looks to have most of the needles, but is missing the threader.

very distant from each other, and you know if something doesn’t change soon, the marriage is going to unravel altogether.
Fortunately, there is help for marriage if you are both willing to make the commitment to work through the problem, no matter what it is. This can feel impossible at times, particularly if there has been an affair or another type of betrayal. Hurt feelings can go very deep. And one of you may be more reluctant to try to work things out if the trust has been damaged.
Many couples do get their marriages back on track, even under pretty challenging circumstances. Sometimes a crisis can be a much-needed wake-up call, making one or both of you recognize the necessity of getting help for marriage so you can heal the wounds. Quite often, if you can get through the process of healing, you will find that you are closer than ever before.
There are many ways you can show each other that you are truly serious and 100% devoted to making the marriage work. Following are just a few of the ways you can do this:
Make your marriage your number one priority.
Careers, children, volunteer work and other family are certainly all very important parts of each of your lives. But when you have reached a crisis point and need help for marriage, you must first be willing to put your marital relationship above everything else in your life.
All too often work and children get all your time and energy and there is simply nothing left for the marriage. Sadly, your children will suffer as a result. You owe it to them to have a happy, healthy marriage to make them feel secure and to give them good role models. And, the happier your marriage, the happier home life will be for your children.
Be open to marriage counseling if needed
Sometimes couples get stuck and simply can’t work it out without some outside help for marriage. While marital therapy isn’t right for everyone, it is definitely worth trying. A skilled marriage counselor can help you find ways to communicate better, break unhealthy patterns and develop new ones, and put things in a new perspective.
If your spouse feels a strong need for the two of you to get counseling, show your commitment by being willing to give it a try. If you are unwilling to go, that will likely convey that you aren’t truly committed to the marriage after all. Your spouse may feel resentment, and there will be even more problems in your relationship.
Make a commitment to focus on everything you love and appreciate about each other.
When you need help for marriage, remember the saying “what you focus on expands”. This is very true in relationships. If you focus on your spouse’s faults, you will end up bringing out the worst in him. If you want to bring out the best in someone, you must frequently show appreciation for the qualities you really value. In turn, your spouse will be more inclined to show those qualities more.
These are just three ways to show commitment to your marriage. While there are much more ways, these three will go along the way when you need help for marriage. The more commitment each of you shows, the more motivated you will be to work together on your relationship. |
AEW is reportedly set to announce that Hikaru Shida is injured, and that she is being pulled from The Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Tournament.
Tony Schiavone taped a segment for this week’s AEW Rampage where he interviewed TBS Champion Jade Cargill with The Baddies – Kiera Hogan and Red Velvet. It was announced that Shida is currently on the shelf, so Kris Statlander will be replacing her against Velvet in a first round tournament match scheduled for next Friday, May 20.
No other details were provided on the injury, but PWInsider notes that Schiavone said the injury occurred during Shida’s Philly Street Fight loss to Serena Deeb on the April 27 edition of Dynamite.
You can click here for full spoilers from tonight’s Rampage taping on Long Island, NY.
It remains to be seen if AEW will be announcing a storyline injury for Shida on this week’s Rampage, or if she’s legitimately hurt. Social media indicates that she is currently in Japan, and is active.
Shida previously defeated Julia Hart to qualify for The Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Tournament. Statlander never participated in a qualifier, so now she gets a chance against Velvet next Friday on Rampage. Velvet previously defeated Willow Nightingale in a qualifier. You can click here for the latest on the women’s tournament and click here for the latest on the men’s tournament, and click here for news on tournament matches to air next Wednesday on Dynamite.
Stay tuned for more on Shida and more on The Owen Hart Foundation Tournaments.

Wilderland Slot
The Wilderland slot is a game from NetEnt slots that takes the concept of the wild symbol, and takes it to a whole new level. There are an incredible 5 wild symbols, including Regular, Expanding, Multiplier, Scatter and Walking Scatter wilds. When you get 2 or more wild symbols in the Activation Zone, this triggers the walking wilds in what is known as the Forest Bonus feature. Aside from this, there is a free spins bonus where you get a minimum of 6 free spins. All in all, we think Wilderland is a fantastic game, that's well worth playing.
Wilderland Slot Background
The dense forest is a source of much curiosity, and there are many fairy tales told of the inhabitants of such forests. Mythical elves, giants, and fairies are said to live there, and once in a while, they may interact with humans.
Fairy tales present elves as helpful creatures, as seen in Santa’s tales, where elves help him to make Christmas toys. More elves help Snow white to survive in the forest through their selfless efforts. Wilderland slot, therefore, invites you to meet these magical elves and find out what treasures they can bequeath you.
Slot Features
Wilderland is a new video slot from NetEnt that comes with 5 reels and 20 paylines. The uniquely named video slot invites you to experience exciting adventures in an enchanted forest that is teeming with strange creatures. The game is not only entertaining, but it also offers you huge winnings from its special features such as free spins and many special wilds.
The game takes on the theme of the magical forest with many forest creatures and imaginary fairies gracing the reels of the Wilderland slot. The reels are held by the magical elven princesses and the enchanted, but the dense forest is visible at the background of the set once you get a win. As expected, the main symbols include the magical creatures, and the musical accompaniment is both mysterious and exciting.
Leading at the paytable are the theme-related symbols starting with the highest paying symbol being the Elven princess who pays 6 times for landing 5 on a pay line. Next is the Fox paying 4 times your bet for getting 5 on a pay line. The bow and arrow is next with a value of 4 times for 5 on a line. The pendant pays 3.5 times for 5 on a line, while the flower ring pays 3.5 times your bet.
The lower paying symbols include various magical leaves that resemble the usual card symbols. There are clubs, spades, diamonds, suits, and hearts in the form of leaves. The wild symbol is represented by the colourful symbol with a big W inside it. It can substitute for the other symbols when forming winning combinations.
The scatter symbol in Wilderland is represented by the colourful symbol with a big S embedded inside it. Wins are based on matching three or more symbols across the paylines from the leftmost reel.

You start by adjusting your bet with the appropriate coin sizes. You can then use the round button to spin the reels or choose the auto spin button to have the game running continuously without any interruption.
Special Bonus Features
Wilderland is a unique game that comes with exciting gameplay and lots of special features that contribute to getting you wildly huge payouts. For instance, the middle row, which is referred to as the Activation Zone, is the center of the many wins that you can get from the wilds in the game. There are many different wilds, with each type of wild capable of improving your payout.
Free Spins Feature
The feature is triggered when you land 3 or more scatter symbols on the reels where you get a minimum of 6 free spins. It can also be triggered when you get 3 scatter walking wilds anywhere on the reels in the main game. The free spins feature is accompanied by the wild features, including the walking wilds.
Once the feature is activated, you start with a walking wild starting from reel 5 on the middle row. The more scatter symbols you land, the more the wild features you can have accompanying the bonus feature. The feature ends when there are no more walking wilds in the game
Forest Treasure Bonus Feature
The feature is activated when you land 2 or more adjacent wilds in the Activation Zone. The walking wilds then come into play where 2 or 3 wild symbols turn into 1 of 4 walking wilds, presenting you with a chance to get huge winnings. With every spin that is made, the walking wilds move a step to the left accompanied by multipliers, expanding wilds, or the scatter feature.
Wilds Increase Your Payouts
Wilderland takes on its theme seriously, and you have different wilds to assist you to increase your payouts.

As some men beat their wives or cheating on them, some ladies are also guilty of domestic violence as they punish their husbands in so many ways.
Sliced mouth
A wife has just been reported on the social media (Facebook) by one, William Georges to have sliced her husband’s mouth because he sent some money to his mistress.
PAY ATTENTION: Get all the latest gossips on NAIJ Gossip App
According to Williams, a wife meted this unthinkable violence on her husband while he was asleep after she saw a receipt of money transfer, of an amount of N271, 000 from her husband to another woman.
What sort of punishment is this?

Susan Hvistendahl alerted me to an article titled A Guy’s Take on Love and Romance in the Jan/Feb issue of Girlfriends magazine published by I 35 Target Media, a sibling of the Northfield News.
It features a roundtable discussion (“chatfest”) about “marriage, dating, romance and relationships in general” with some Northfield-area guys including Hans Olsen, Mike Miller, Adam Andreasen, Nathan Kuhlman, Ed Kuhlman, Drew Weis, James Schlicting, Jason Hoffman and Dan Freeman. |
This month we’re highlighting Martin Millner, a client using our IDX in a site with the look and feel of a small-town real estate newspaper. Built with with help of developers at Online Marketing Strategies, Martin’s real estate web site BucksCountyPAtoday.com appeals to buyers and sellers in Bucks County with lots of IDX data integrated into a unique, homey design.
Here are some of the elements we love about Marty’s site along with tips for implementing any IDX features on your own real estate site…
Homespun design
Marty’s site looks like a town’s local newsletter. The site offers the same IDX tools, buying tips, and neighborhood info you’ll find on any decent real estate web site but it’s packaged as “Bucks County PA News” – a real estate newsletter for Bucks County. His site’s nameplate, large ‘front page’ area photos, headlines and articles arranged in neat columns with bold typefaces and paper-textured backgrounds lend the site the look of a community-based periodical.
home page of Marty’s website, BucksCountyPAtoday.com
The site has it’s share of “buy with us” calls to action, but the newsletter design makes the site feel more personal than most. Gimmick or not, it’s an effective way to let buyers know he’s a community-focused Realtor.
IDX search with stripped down fields
Stripped down search
The framed IDX search page on his site was customized to show just the most basic search fields: location and price. Limiting user input to just these two fields while tucking away beds, baths and other fields under the “Add Additional Criteria” section help idiot-proof his IDX map for visitors.
Customizing the fields on your IDX is an easy way to tailor your search to the interests of your users. To customize the fields in your search, go to the IDX Options page of your Control Panel and click the Search tab. Here you simply drag and drop to choose which fields show up at the top of your search, which ones are listed under “Additional Criteria” and which are disabled from your search page altogether.
Use of IDX widgets
IDX widgets down the left
For most areas he serves, Marty’s created custom pages that display the latest listings using shortcode along with several IDX widgets running down the left side the page.
These widgets give buyers lots of options for getting to the IDX listings: slideshow, mini map and a list of the latest homes. Some widgets simply help visitors engage with your site while others help with SEO, so it’s great to see sites that use a combination of IDX widgets on their pages.
You can setup IDX widgets to add anywhere on your site from the IDX modules page of your dsSearchAgent Control Panel, or from the Appearance page of your WordPress admin panel. We recently built several new IDX widgets, so be sure to take advantage of the new options we added.
Breakdown by neighborhood
For of the largest area he serves, Marty’s created a central page that branches out to separate custom pages for each neighborhood in the Lower Makefield Township. Each neighborhood page includes a note offering visitors email updates of new homes, links to other neighborhood pages, and a list of the top 15 MLS listings in the neighborhood via the shortcode feature of our IDX plugin.
each neighborhood links to a page with IDX shortcode for live listings
These pages display regularly updated IDX data to help his site gain search engine ranking on a neighborhood level – and they are simple to setup. Read our earlier blog post for help using shortcode to show the latest IDX listings in an area. |
Visit to Ma Martha, a Traditional Healer
Saturday 3rd September 2005
Today Fi suggested we went to see her friend Ma Martha who is a Sangoma, a traditional healer. We set off North West towards the mountains on winding dirt roads, leaving clouds of dust behind us. Some of the roads had been maintained by a new government initiative which appoints people in the local community to keep their part of the road free from pot holes and in passable condition. They are paid only 500 rand a month, (less than Fifty pounds.) I remember this region as being one of the most green and fertile looking areas though it is surrounded by thickly wooded hills and not the landscape you associate with agriculture. The woods are home to the Cape Parrot and apparently this is one of the only places where they are still breeding in the country. A few weeks ago the exceptionally dry weather sent them to Creighton in their hundreds in search of food.
We must have driven twenty five km when we reached the settlement where Ma Martha lived. Here there was no water left and she pointed to a pile of her clothes crumpled on a table as she told us it was along way to the river. Everyone is waiting for the rains to come.
Ma Martha greeted us warmly and was glad that Fi had brought two bottles of fizzy water and some buns which she shared with a neighbours child. She is in her sixties and told us that in June the taxi she travelled in was going too fast and overturned on a bend, she was badly bruised and since then has suffered pains in her shoulders and hands. She has always built and maintained her own houses and had been in the middle of building a new house when the accident occurred. Now she is dependent on workmen who don’t always come when they say they will and charge a lot of money.
The new thatch on her rondavel will last about ten to twenty years, she suspects ten as it has been made thinly. It costs 1000 rands for the bundles of dry grass before paying for labour. The old house is falling apart because the soil in this region is fine and sandy so the mud bricks don’t hold together well.
At present she is living in a rondavel which is deceptively large inside. She has hand painted a typical Zulu design of bold areas of colour, blue-greys and terracotta outlined with a thick border on the walls and built a clay fireplace rather like the shape of a fish to one side of the centre pole. Here she has a raised fireplace over which she places her black three legged pot. Towards the entrance of the room a pile of leaves are laid out to dry. This is her snuff.
Outside she shows us her mooti, her garden of indigenous plants for healing. In this patch of ground all her plants are thriving apparently oblivious to the lack of water. There are no plants or weeds between them and nothing else growing in the surrounding areas. She has a fine cockerel running around the garden and some healthy looking chickens. She says all her neighbours chickens have died.
Being a “Sangoma” – Traditional healer
I asked Ma Martha how she came to be a Sangoma. Her English though not her first language was poetic and beautiful as she described how it happened that as a young child she began to have powerful dreams. First she would dream about a snake, then she would have a dream about an ox, then she would wake and she had dreamt about a lion. After these dreams she began to fall sick. She did not know what was happening to her, she would have a fever and be full of aches and pains, first one time then another. After this she knew she could see things differently. She knew in her mind that she had to be with someone. She could feel inside her, not in her bones but in her blood that someone was sick or had a problem. I asked how she learnt about the medicines and plants and she explained that she had studied at college for several years about which plants have medicinal properties.
On the wall hang the clothes decorated with feathers which she wears as a Sangoma. She proudly held her Shoba, a braided switch of horse hair which is the emblem of her trade. She explained that it was to her the equivalent of a doctor’s white coat.
“Do you often have people come to you for your medicine?” I asked.
“No, not now, not so much.”
The fact is that as well as the certificate that shows that Ma Martha is a traditional healer, she has three certificates showing that she has undertaken courses in taking care of people dying of AIDs related illnesses. She first became a home carer for her community, caring for the sick and the dying and now she cares for the orphans of the community. She works full time often having to travel to the hospital and back and sorting out death certificates for families. She says the people in the community thinks she is paid but she only gets 200 Rands a month which barely covers her taxi fares. |

Spicy roe spaghetti, also known as Spaghetti Mentaiko, is a popular and easy-to-make Japanese dish typically comprised of spicy roe, butter, Japanese mayonnaise, spaghetti, and nori for garnish. Many Japanese restaurants serve this inexpensive pasta so it became a mission for me to find the best spicy roe pasta in Manhattan. I decided to pick three places – Basta Pasta, Riki, and Tomi. In my mind the two important characteristics of this dish were the noodles and the spicy roe sauce.
First Round: Basta Pasta
They call it Spaghetti con Uova di Pesce ($15), topped with shiso. The spaghetti was cooked very well; it was al dente which provided a great chewy texture to the entire dish. However, I felt that the sauce itself was not as creamy or flavorful as I would have liked in a Spaghetti Mentaiko dish. The fish roe seemed to be similar to those on your sushi rolls, and doesn’t flavor the pasta as much as it needs.
Second Round: Riki
As an unassuming item within a large assortment of foods on the menu, their version of the Spaghetti with Spicy Cod Roe ($8.50) had a good mix of cream to roe ratio. The roe seemed to have absorbed some cream to give it a fatty, rich flavor. However the noodles were a different story. I wouldn’t call what they used spaghetti by any means, but more like Chinese oil noodles. In any case, Riki’s version is something I am willing to return for, but probably not my first choice.
Third Round: Tomi
Last, but not the least, is Tomi’s version of Spaghetti Mentaiko (price unknown). From what I heard, Tomi has the best spicy roe pasta but I wanted to see and experience that for myself. This unassuming Japanese whiskey bar does serve food, this dish being one of their selections. It is surprising how good food can come out of bars; oftentimes, the most secluded ones are the hidden gems. In this case, that proves to be true. Their spaghetti was actually spaghetti – though not as al dente as Basta Pasta’s – but is comparable. Then the spicy roe sauce was very enjoyable. It had a good amount of that unami flavor in combination with the thick texture and richness of the cream. My final rating is 8.5 / 10.0. I definitely intend on going back again to eat this, and have some quality whiskey on the side.

You know spoiler alert for me. It's probably one of my favorites if not my favorite MCI? Movie. That isn't th ordinary thor Ragnarok. Obviously Thura ignore because a masterpiece. You. Know there's just something about this movie those a message, a message of unity, but also ongoing sort of discourse over the famous Benjamin. Franklin. quote. I'm butchering the quote. I'M GONNA paraphrase. To do with giving up freedom for security. but this idea, this concept this. Notion of. The balance the very fine line of balance between security and freedom. It's something that rings through today. But it also. Has Been a very important issue for a long time. you know what comes to mind is the Patriot Act but. For now, in sort of a more contemporary way, would be their relation of this sort of notion of. Security and freedom with. A more. Sort of less security in terms of like. Autos. Confrontation and defense and more security in terms of public health. you know there's an issue of freedoms over each other's safety That, you know we're not. Doing too well on in America right now it's. The the virus is still real people still out there. Protesting against wearing masks, it's The point being it's a very universal issue that deserves you know tackling on every front and I think this. While it isn't necessarily directly associated with everything that's going on I think the underlying message and the themes in the conflict between these two ideas. Explored in this movie are something. That, you know. Is Very important Through all time. But without further ado, let's get into Captain America's civil. War. So this movie opens in Two Thousand Sixteen right and two thousand sixteen was sort of like a battle year in terms of you know there were battle movies with the Superhero. UNIVERSES. Captain America's civil war, obviously as well as Batman versus Superman of justice. but also offscreen, you know there was a battle between the DC and marvel fans. One of the greatest benefits of the Internet is that allows everyone to sort of connect and talk about their enthusiasm for various Nisha elements of pop culture not to say that awful movies niche by any sort of means but you know that sort of es and ability to communicate your opinions and you know the finding of community in these very large volumes of opinion sometimes. It leads to Phenomenon of tribalism. You know it. Also breeds troll culture. and this sort of division and the frenzy of. Competition made these fan bases sort of toxic in this year. These are the same types of people that boycotted movies like the all-female Ghostbusters of twenty sixteen. They to find any fault with the film rather than face the face the fact that they just didn't like it because it was a movie. Featuring main predominantly female cast. You know there's People that find any opportunity to do what they can praise the DC extended universe. At the expense of the very successful and very. Practical fundamentally better marvel cinematic universe because you can't be found of both you have to be a fan of one or the other. It's the same thing. With the Star Wars movies, you know fans angrily sort of. Rebelled against a star wars after the last Jedi failed to meet their extraordinary expectations. They also boycott movies like Captain Marvel because got like Bree Larsen Ashmore Diversity in blockbuster films. And they wanted a remake of game of thrones because they didn't like last season. than. nother. Think about it I'm one of those people. I get very passionate about game of thrones. I didn't enjoy the last season I think that one's. I. Guess It's a little. Understandable, it's reasonable. But certain themes in these toxic emerge all the time. There's a hatred of diversity hatred of women There's a bunch of entitlement you know is a ridiculous idea that new installments of series can diminish previous installments and it makes no sense to me. Twenty sixteen it was the year that everyone established sort of how bad pop culture fandom become. and. Obviously, you know being one of the biggest companies in the world and one of the most prolific creators of media that's permeated all of our lives is Disney. So Disney was often at the storm of this negativity. You know they knew how to make blockbusters and they were dominant. and. While most of their successes sort of game from their animated features. Success. Has Been Sort of ingrained in Disney for a really long time. But Live Action Disney films. They were a bit less reliable. But Disney combated that by making some very important. Acquisitions, you know they bought Marvel entertainment two, thousand, nine, they started. Distributing all of MC's films a day. Then also bought Lucasfilm and Star Wars They released the new star. Wars. Trilogy and out of the top. Ten highest earning films of the year two, thousand, sixteen five were distributed by Disney. There's a reason Disney now owns about thirty four percent of the big Hollywood studio market. you know they're the biggest company in media. At least. Entertainment. It's. Their massive the sizes it's Incomprehensible..

Everything we know about The Rock's antihero movie 'Black Adam'
"Okay, So the rock, right? I'm already interested. No, right. This is I mean, this is dark too. I think and quote unquote heavy. So are you familiar with black Adam? I am not so black. Adam is a fictional character who appears in the DC comics. And I guess he first appeared as a one time villain. For the first issue of the Marvel family comic book in like 1945, but Black Adam was revived. Ah has a recurring character. After D C comics first licensed and then acquired faucet characters, blah, blah, blah. Then it just goes, they begin publishing what was the captain? Marvel family stories? And she exam so it goes back to all of that, and he was a corrupted ancient Egyptian predecessor of Captain Marvel. Okay? So black, Adam fought his way to modern times to challenge the hero and his Marvel Family associates. But now he's been redefined by DC comics writers. And so he is going to be black Adam, who is ranked as whose I G n Idea. It's like a movie website. OK, 16th greatest comic book villains of all time. So so he's going to be a villian. Interesting. Well, you know what in wrestling fans will remember this aboutthe rock? He plays a great A great villain because he was hell for many years, meaning like a bad guy, okay? And and he was fantastic as a hell still likeable, Which makes him sort of like an anti hero, but but really, really good. So So if you're having trouble thinking, we'll wait. The rock is always so winsome and always the good guy. He could play the bad guy in a way that there will be some people rooting for the bad guy sort of not Not in the same way in terms of what the performance will be like. But you know, Heath Ledger's turn. Is the Joker in the Dark knight. You're You're like you want another joker senior, like, Bring back the Joker.

Welcome to Dumpuary: Breaking Down a Bad Movie Buffet
"But first let's talk about what is dumped ury in your mind. It's the time when the bad movies come out. Yes well see now. Historically that is January and February but as we get older and movies get arguably worse. Dump ury exists across many months. It's true there are a couple seasons. There is the January February and then traditionally it was August was another truly. I don't know what the Portmanteau is for bad movies and August a Gar- bug St- okay. Great Okay Congratulations. But now people have seen that August is a time to maybe release an interesting movie and so the bad movies sometimes come out in June last year it was actually may and sometimes it correspond to the quality of the movie and sometimes it corresponds to just like box office totals and when people feel like going to the movies but there is it traditional understanding that if a movie is scheduled for late. January or early February and it's not like a seam movie if it's not like a romance for Valentine's Day or I guess there's usually some horror counter programming for Valentine's Day but if it's just a movie that's coming out in the first quarter there's a reason especially if it seems like a big movie if it seems like a big noisy tentpole movie that you've been hearing about for a long time and it arrives in February that means it's been hunted to February more than likely now the the movie calendars changed a lot like the first two to three weeks of October. Is now this really important corridor? Where movies like joker in a star is born. Go into in there with the expectation. They can be big hits. That wasn't true ten years ago so the calendar is always evolving. And we've had some good February's in the past February I believe is when get out was released so it's not like there aren't great movies potentially released into this period but the other thing that is going on here is that we have a truncated. Oscar season so normally on this show. At this time on this date we would be doing predictions. Yeah you know it would be if we were leaning into this weekend coming forward but with Oscar being moved up. We've got this vast open window before whatever. The next movie is which is a bit later this year. Also in the past few years there had been mc you creep and that started in April and then even Marta. I think Captain Marvel was March last. I think you're right so it's a real vacuum it really is. And that's the other thing one other version of ury which is all of the movies surrounding the biggest movie of the year. So if you look at the release schedule last year around the time of vendors and game not super great and if you were forced to make say podcast episodes about movies around that time and not talk about endgame. You'd a tough time.

KCRW's Hollywood Breakdown
Despite box office domination, Disney's earnings disappoint
"I'm kim masters and this is the hollywood breakdown joining me as bellany of the hollywood reporter and matt <hes> this past week disney reported its earnings and they were disappointing disappointing despite disney having basically devoured the box office with ventures game in captain marvel and toy story foreign hit after hit lion king in the future <hes> their stock took a little shot and the reason according to chairman bob eiger and was that twenty th century fox they acquired the company and fox fox has left a couple of duds in the pipeline that really hurt of disney's bottom line. You're not just a couple of duds but he really took aim at the entire fox fox film studio strategy. He basically said that the new management disney was going to rectify some of the problems that imply quote discipline to the movie making process. I mean you look back. This is the first quarter that the fox assets were being counted against disney earnings and judging from what whatever said it seemed to surprise them how much trouble the film division was in and he cited dark phoenix. He started a couple of other big pricey bombs that were left them now. Obviously this is in his interest to do you know they had an earnings miss so you've gotta explain it somehow and it was very convenient for him to be able to point a finger at this company money that they absorbed but it does ring true if you look at some of the box office performance of these films in the fox studio had kind of been in this middling you know they had a couple of franchises but not those billion dollar franchises and they had pricey mrs dark phoenix and x. men movie that didn't do much at the box office. That was very pricey a._c. Miss i tried to walk a line sort of saying that we're taking over in. It's all going to be good now. We're redefining fox's film strategy and meanwhile meanwhile i'm not blaming anybody because it was hard for them. Over there you know there was all this talk for months and months and months about a takeover and maybe they took their eye off the ball was the implication kevin however you know if you're emma watts the one upper level fox film executive to survive this because the chairman of the fox studio stacey snider didn't make the move to disney disney. You gotta be feeling a little bit like there's a bullseye painted on you although he eicher did say <hes> you know i'm not blaming any individual yeah. I don't see how you feel comfortable and you know there. Is this question now. What is fox. It's a pared down version of itself. They're gonna make up. Maybe a ten movies but half of those are supposed to be for the streaming service. I am not quite clear yet. Who's in charge of what <hes> i. It's just been a pretty rough ride. Yeah fox's now illegal under disney just like marvel just like pixar lucasfilm and it's going to be treated as such but let's talk about a different topic here at disney which is wasn't just fox that dragged them down. They we are spending like crazy to launch the streaming service that it's going to go live later this year. Call disney plus and it's going to be the future of the company. They're trying to compete with netflixing. It's not just the disney library stuff all the children's movies and the marvel movies that are gonna go to disney plus. It's going to be new stuff stuff like a star wars series stuff like marvel original series and that's costing them a lot of money and they're not seeing any benefit to that and i talked about this in the past that the disney board is on board for his strategy which is to spend big now an end some of these lucrative licensing deals to own the direct to consumer experience and compete in the streaming world and that's gonna cost money and it's going to drag down earnings for a while yeah i mean at the idea is short term pain for long-term gain which of course leads to the perennial question. What what's it's going to happen with. Netflixing is going to really hurt net flicks. We're seeing signs of that already and we are watching an industry transform before our eyes. Thank you matt thank you. That's matt bellamy editorial director of the hollywood reporter. He joins me this monday at one thirty on the business. I'm kim masters and this is the hollywood breakdown.

"The MTV movie and TV awards last night for what they're worth. It's a good night for Disney and marvel movies best movie of injures into game best hero, Robert Downey junior. Tony stark iron man in ventures in game best villain. Josh Brolin fan hosts in ventures in game. And best fight was not Marvel's avengers in game. It was captain marvel versus Minerva. So on Disney films, they're getting nuts. Surprisingly or not surprisingly, in TV side, the final season of game of thrones, best TV show. However, even the thrones got shut out in every other Ted television categories. So. A little bit of love for game of thrones, but not not a whole lot, some of the other winners out their best performance in a movie, the non gender specific best actor goes to lady Gaga in a star is born and best scary movie actor category.

"captain marvel" Discussed on The Fandom Podcast
"And if you're not going to see it because of like, you know, if you hate rehearse on whatever it doesn't matter like just go see it for it self. And I mean there were so many YouTube videos that I wa- like people were sending me like, oh this person has some valid points. And I was watching them. And then like after I saw the movie I was like all of those rants were completely dumb. Every single thing that they were like, oh, this is the problem that it's going to have none of them had like the movie didn't have those problem. See what I laughed about? There was this one guy who sent me a video about he he knows that. I'm a data and Ernie's like, hey this. This captain marvel fan right here has gone out and gone through and crunch the numbers from rotten, tomatoes and rotten tomatoes lying about the numbers. And I'm like hang on. So I double checked his work. Let's just say that YouTube video did not stand up to peer reviewed research. All right. So yeah, go see the movie, captain, marvel is awesome. There's a lot of fun things that even if you just don't like captain marvel there's a lot of fun things about them. See you and go see it. It's all real fun movie. Couple of non spoiler readings about more non-salary things about this is so I went and saw guardians of the galaxy with my dad who was who was tiled of seventies. And he left that movie just loving the movie because of the soundtrack. Oh, yeah. And as a child of the nineties, so nineties music was a little bit more all over the place than seventies music was. But there were a couple a couple songs in there that I was like, oh my gosh. This is perfect. And this isn't a stall GIC waterfall started playing. I was like, oh, I heard the song so much. I don't wanna hear it. Now. I don't want to chase anymore. Waterfalls TLC. I think just a girl was the perfect song legitimately could not have picked a better on. That was perfect. That said if you have if you have a better song that you would have picked Iran scene. Yeah. You're wrong. Don't write in and tell us. Oh. And that's Taylor who always asked people to read it until us. So all right. All right. So so I think the if if you ever wanted to experience what the people who went and saw guardians of the galaxy and grew up in the seventies experienced, and if you grew up in the nineties, this is very much a similar vibe. I think from there now another, and this is another thing that's tied to guardians the galaxy. There's a lot of things tied the guardians of the galaxy and movie just because it's the space cosmic stuff. But this one is tied to it in the fact that is not a goofy comedy the way that gardens the galaxy. Because after the first guardians of the galaxy came out set a mold for the marvel cinematic universe. Thor ragnarok, followed it Spiderman spider-man's always been funny in quickey. But there there's so much more comedy in the after gardens out now at the same time. It was also around the same time that marvel and DC were. Seemingly feuding a bit in DC was we're not gonna have any humor because these are darkened serious movies and marbles said fine. We're gonna show you world down our humor. This movie was funny without being goofy. And with the with the aliens that were in this one it would have been very easy to go goofy..

"Very few people's chances. What is their motivation? That's the question they lady hitter haters. Do they do the same thing with Ghostbusters Ghostbusters deserve oceans eight also? Did he want your lever reviewing run tomatoes, fifty eight thousand people's chances are one or two people in this room? Probably did it. Okay. No-one did our people want to do that. All right. So let's talk about marvel, and what it is, and captain marvel and whether it's good or not because that's the point of this exercise. What are your thoughts on captain marvel where do you rank it in terms of good or bad? I should say I was reading this movie for obvious reasons. Obvious about woman, you don't like with strong female characters groupers actually starts strong female. All I'm not a giant marble guy. Just kind of I'm not I wish I was. And when people are laughing and clapping in the theater, I feel like I'm missing out on something which kind of gives me foam. But then I get rid of it because I don't wanna know like at the end credits, which Brian didn't see, but people were bugging stoked when that happened in the end credits won't ruin it for anybody. But I was like what why are you guys so excited, right? I did stay for the mid credit sequence. I didn't stay for the pump. And I to the Email Giovanni and say why are people happy about that? I didn't know. All right. I was prepared to hate this movie. And I didn't hate it. That's probably the best thing. I could say about it. Yeah. I took me about twenty minutes to actually accept it. She was fantastic. She was as cool as any marble male character out there that I've ever seen before. I liked her more than Chris Pratt cooler than many marvel many many mobile. I liked the villains. We gotta be careful not to give anything away on this, obviously. Because the number of you have not seen it, and you will be seeing it. But by the time, it was ending though shoe out to say like mohawk and white is I I hated that a lot. Yeah. It was it was a little grinchey. It really made me cringe. And that's kind of like things that concerns me. But all the stuff that had no mohawk. No white is. I really enjoyed. I like to thought it was a good movie. Maybe not a great movie. Eighty percent. Sounds about right. Maybe a little higher. It's feels much more like a Star Trek movie than a marvel movie for much of it. It's like an update Star Trek. Although there. The same sort of story orchestra trekking the flight academy and all that stuff. And yeah, I liked it a little better maybe than block panther. Of the black man not nearly as much as guardians of the galaxy. Or maybe like a dead pool or what else? What else could you're right. That's right. Ortho Irag Narok because when no doubt I'm just a girl came on like also floated about one in a bowl. I wish I had her power because I would just write out the ceiling the movies, the movie set in the mid nineties, and it does take a lot of advantage of some of the girls. So on the knows I don't know if they're seen anything that was that on the note what we call it what they call needle drops. We're like the music the soundtrack kicks in when like some certain action kicks in and are certain points starts to kick some assets. And no doubt. I'm just a girl. Just kicks in space. It's not like a jukebox pariah. All right. It's not music. Anyway, it's it's kind of movie certain certain things work and certain things. Don't movies exceptionally preachy to moral movies are known to be preaching there of the time. But this one gets per reach e exceptionally preachy is all about border, walls, essentially and think about refugees we've got to see her badly poorly. By males growing up throughout the movie like engaged. Forgot men can be Dick's to women sometimes special little girls, and they tell them you can't do anything. We get it. We get it's she overcame a lot. It's kind of a buddy movie like the first half is like her Jude lobbying buddies, and then it's like Sam Jackson..
The Bechdel Cast
"captain marvel" Discussed on The Bechdel Cast
"You know, anything about her I read as much as I could of the chapter of your book Caroline, on of course, on captain marvel and I saw reference to Monica Rambo, eventually becoming captain marvel in some of the later comic books. Cool. So so the first. Captain marvel is Marv L who is, you know, Annette Benning except in the comic sees a guy, but he's still have that kind of semi short gray hair. So when they showed an bending with the grey hair. I was like. But but then he dies of cancer. And he doesn't come back, which is unusual in comics because everybody comes back from the dead. And then in nineteen eighty two Monica Rambo becomes the second captain marvel, and it's not because she has anything to do with the create it actually doesn't really make a lot of sense. But like cheese harbor patrol Lieutenant in bla-bla-bla explosion, blah, blah, blah. She basically has those kinds of powers and the media labels her captain marvel, and then she meets the avengers in. They're like, why are you calling yourself captain marvel, and she's like, I don't know they called me that and they're like will, you know, our buddy, captain marvel just died. She's like, no didn't know that. Sorry. Rep here. She beckoned care for marble, her outfit is white and black. But in the Scott that same star in the middle. Yeah. Oh, cool. She's got a like natural hair. Which is also nice. That's amazing. We're back then and she leads the avengers like through into the night into the like, the late eighties, and whatever and then in the nineties suddenly Marvel's sun shows up and declares that he's captain marvel Monica's like, okay, I guess I'll call myself photon instead. Okay. I'm a man. I'm Jeanie Loftus. I'm like. I'm photon, Jamie. Kennedy comes along, and he's like, my name has been Jamie Loftus this whole like fine. I'm photon. Changing. So that's why Maria Rambeau on her plane at said Maria photon Rambo, I think so probably what they're setting up is that twenty years into the future. The when the avengers movie is taking place. Monica would be the right age to be photon. Okay. Cool cool. Okay. And to be glowing and stuff like that. And so so she's photon and she works with other avengers and all that kind of stuff. And at that time, Carol is still MS marvel, and then there's all kinds of stuff that happens, and she's an alcoholic, and they made her an alcoholic. So Tony stark iron man could be here. AA sponsor. Books. Are so weird coming there's drama. Goes on like that until two thousand twelve when they relaunch his captain marvel so she is really the fourth captain marvel Carol, and when they really started it's the character really took off very quickly. But there were definitely an understandably some Monica Rambo fans who were like Carol danvers is not the first female, captain marvel. My art you promoting Monica wire all your heroes, white, you know, right? So so in the comics Kelly, sue de Connick who really kinda launched this version of captain marvel that you see in the movie, and she was a consultant on the movie and had a cameo and stuff she made sure to kind of bring Monica Rambeau into the captain, marvel comics in there's this ark where the two of them worked together in their buddies. And they're on a team together later and stuff interested. They should work together. Yeah. Caroline, keep in every episode is superior hose. This is the context I crave app you to help with the crazy history. But it is. I mean, it's very telling that whenever these movies get adapted. The choices always or usually seem to be. Let's make sure our heroes are male SIS hetero, white right able bodied. Yeah. And when you look at the numbers, I mean, I sort of added him up, right? So if you count all superhero movies from two thousand to twenty nineteen and then even count the ones in development about ten percents. Start women. And last I checked our world was not ninety percent white SIS gender, non queer non-disabled men. Thank god. No. The nightmare. That would be. It's actually about the same for superhero. TV shows the ones that are out now in the ones that are coming in the next few years..

"Then he's like, so you're going to do some recipes in some fashion. You know that that like women should be astronauts stuff. Right. Women should be in the kitchen, and she is like a feminist icon J, John James. Really an ally to all the J Jona Jameson. Wow. I'm like, yeah. I'm really excited to hear more about the character as well. Because I am not super familiar with the MC you. Tell but affected I called captain marvel at one of the X men, but you, but you ended vertically said something accurate because there was a point at which she almost joined the x men in the eighties. So we'll just pretend you knew that have a really deep knowledge. And so was better deep cuts. That's I wouldn't hear that. I my history is side from seeing the movie twice now. Brag. Is I admittedly did not know that captain marvel was a character or comic book until I saw the trailer for this movie, which we can kind of later on pack. How you know a lot of the superheroes. Who are women don't really make it to the mainstream or like over popular properties. But yeah, we can we can talk about that a little for sure legged her I didn't. I mean, I enjoyed the movie. I it was there's definitely stuff that I think is worth discussing. I wasn't my favorite ever know. But it was one of those movies that like for the little things I was jotting down in the screening. I was sitting two seats away from like kids, and they were so excited. Oh, that's great. Oh like in that way. You're just I'm like almost cry. And that way, I think it's great. And there was like a lot of young boys and girls at moving and they were all site. Right. And it's like, yes, I have my critiques. But in general, I think is a good movie to have in the world and have kids seen agree. Yeah. Yes. I also. I'm like, I thought it was good. It was fine. It wasn't great. Now that I've seen Spiderman into the spider verse six times. I just feel a little underwhelmed by every other superhero than new magic good. But no, there's there's a lot to compare women to men as much as possible. To do that. Anyway, should we do the recap? Sure. Okay. So we meet Veer's that's broiler since character. I stand relearn said, yes, I love real arson. Big fan. Big STAN she lives on planet Hala with the Cree people. Sure, she has a power she like energy comes out of her fists. She fights Jude law, and she's stronger than him, and she doesn't have any memory of her past from before she arrived on Cree and Caroline does this lineup..

"He's done unless you put it back on her do something magical. Right. So here's the thing. Carol dampers, which makes you're such a cool character. She is a bad ass both in fighting and mentality. If anyone's going to rip off spawns head she. She will she has a history of being that kind of bad ass battle. So the captain marvel superman like powers strength speed, durability her ability to shoot as well to absorb all fours of energy, including magical and her ability to upgrade to super say. I mean binary where overpowers at least double strength and capability. There's no way that spawned wins this battle, and that's my point number three. Wow. Those are definitely words. I want to understand three James gap. So your point is that. Binary captain marvel gains all the powers of captain marvel. I'm already established. These powers aren't good enough to defeat. Spawn. Let me let me. With more powerful at the same thing. It's still gonna work rate. Let me ask you question. Okay. Let's say you go to the gym for a workout. We all know that doesn't happen. But let's say constantly K. You go to bench fresh your max, let's say that's what do you think that is defined take a quick look at Ray. What's your what four digit number to come up with minus one hundred and thirty six point five? We think he's not a week. I by the way, he looks fairly strong fairly. So let's say he's been pressing except your compliment. You're welcome. Like, let's say you're benching two hundred pounds. Okay. I walk in and I can bench press more, right? Let's just say can bench press the eighteen thousand times more that. That's what binary does it's not that. She has the same powers is that her ability to take on Spahn to absorb that energy to bench press that Turner pounds is increased to be able to bench press that whenever we're pounds her ability to absorb magical energy or naturally increases as well. And her speed really goes up as well. And I think as amazing. Spun is because he is and his ability to stop time. You got to kind of know who you're stopping time against who. You're facing someone who can travel at the speed of light. You're not going to be tracking that well. So that's my rebuttal. And that's fine. I wasn't actually finished yet. Just a recap one quick thing before you do render my verdict in favor of me. Still have it necessarily even spoke to the ability to put captain marvel in a pocket dimension, which okay, fine. He didn't do it to God. Apparently, which he did whatever. I also wanna this to capitated thing. That is absolutely correct. That is a possibility is captain marvel known to Capitaine is she is she known as a blade stress one who would remove heads with knives and sharp, edges she wouldn't need blades. She can literally rip spawns head off. I mean, she is that power, especially as binary can has she done it. That's a great question. I'm not saying she has is it out of the realm impossibility because she is that insane of fighter and has kind of tally. It's not outside the room possibility possible shirt heroic. She's a very heroic character who probably would not result in decapitation. If the heck she could help it. I think. Yeah. So what pocket dimension thing? Like like, what was your argument against that? Is that you've got to be able to see your opponent and kind of be at a certain, I'm not I don't wanna say like health, but a certain ability to be able to do it as hers binary, right? She'll be traveling so fast with an ability to absorb. Energy that is exponentially increased so spot will be losing strength while she's moving it super speed and gaining strength and to rebuttal quickly. And this'll be my last point all of that is happening. She's flying around the race track. At the speed of light. That's fine spun knee just stop time we established. He can he can go straight down to hell and then reappear wherever the heck captain marvel is because he has that supernatural ability to go basically wherever he needs to at a given moment and part three takes Cape right over the head..

"Jameson on a women's magazine is true, j Jonah Jameson believed that the magazine should focus on things, quote, unquote, relevant to women's lives like dieting and fashion instead under damage leadership the mazing focused on careers feminism which quickly led to Jameson firing danvers over their differing viewpoints. That was the sixties mind you and now you have the facts on both opponents, Stefan. Do you have any questions before we? Get started. No, I think I'm ready to hear these points. Very cool actually happen before we get going further. Let's do something kind of interesting which version of spongy using I'm using the comic book version of spawn the movie version of spawn would simply not do fair enough fair enough. Although I did like the movie version, but the movie do not get me wrong. Very cool. And I'm using also the current six one six marvel universe version of captain marvel Carol danvers. All right do note. It duly noted. Here we go Ray, please proceed with your first point. Thank you very much, James Gavin. My first point is simply entitled, captain marvel captain marvel what you're gonna do what you're gonna do. With one comes for you. Lovely singing voice, but I've been trained by the best. Who is? The streets the street. Streets or the ultimate. That's where all the best learned house. You not look at Ray and realize that the streets haven't taught him everything at some say the streets are talking. They're also singing. To my first point, captain, marvel is very powerful character. Obviously, she's going to play very strong into the Infinity war endgame, avengers marvel cinematic universe, and that's cute. That's great. I'm glad she's gonna come in and save the day. Because knows is not even close to what spawn is able to do first off captain marvel cannot hurt spawn in any way, shape or form he is her flurry of punches and kicks and body blocks. And oh a little bit of laser beam here and there. Ooh. Howdy, blocks blocks on body blocks. Spawn is nigh invulnerable, and he has a healing factor on top of it not to mention his Cape. If forms a symbiotic relationship with him. So in the off chance that captain marvel even gets off a shot mighty enough to knock spun unconscious..

"That's not deep symbolism. But it sends a message that no man's land. But the women could get across it here. I just don't feel it has that element. It's just about being human. So just a girl. All right again. It's the soundtrack song. A little ahead of its time. But if you're a riot girl, I imagine you are cheering as captain marvel is now invincible she gets shot by a sniper rifle and his like and and with no sweat whatsoever. With her dragon ball z powers because she really looks like live action dragon ball z with all the glory. She is able to stop everybody. She is so powerful there's no threat that could ever possibly stoppard. There's no struggle here at the end. She could kick superman superman at least had to choose between which nuke to stop them and turn the earth BAC where it's gonna stop twenty-five nukes. She's going to stop all the nukes. And here's my issue is again, they could've set it up with the line. Maybe there's a whole cut scene, but if she ever realized real potential, she'd be the most powerful person in the universe like set something up. But no just at the end. She took the little thing off the back of her head. And now she could blow up all the nukes even. Ronin the accusers afraid of her and it's going to run away. I like all this this is, but I wish more of the movie was you feel this is earned though. Like just all of a sudden, she's the most powerful thing ever. I like the idea that the only thing limiting her was her mindset, and that this stupid little thing on the back of her head that she thought was controlling her. Because that's what for me that's kind of what oppression feels like it's voice in the back of your head. That prevents you from acting on your wishes and the idea that it's just as simple as plucking this thing away and saying I'm free is really exciting. I've got no problem with that Stewart. I love the little montage were foll- downfall down fall down. Then stand up stand up stand up and then stands up you love that. I the word ham fisted feminism is what came to mind. I mean, there's a lot of ham fisted feminism in this complain of mine, but I like that moment that didn't feel like a moment about feminism is just this is what you do as a human to be empowered. Is you stand up every time you get knocked out. It's the fact that now if this was a stand. Onofri? It never had a marvel film this random superhero movie or random scifi movie. Okay. You become all powerful your Neo in the matrix at the end flying around. That's fine. But within the context of this universe. They've set up. It's too much power, and it feels unearned and there's no stakes now, she's invincible she can do everything. So she does there's no struggle whatsoever. There's no stakes be that as it may I greatly. Enjoy her taking on the missiles, what I would say is that I don't feel like it's nearly as thrilling wonder woman charging out onto that battlefield and taking the full brunt of all of those bullets that was seeing to truly be an all of here because they've edited the movie the way that it has and so much of the time I've been disconnected with Brie Larssen. I really love her in the mohawk sue doing this. But like it doesn't linger. I don't get the rush that I want now that she is all powerful. And I want to spend time in that. And I feel like they're like, well, you know, we've only got about. Twelve minutes left. That's tidy this up and go to compare to wonder woman. Yes, I like that seen in wonder woman so much better. I would like a little bit of that here. But this is so much better than wonder woman, fighting CGI Aries at the end, at least they didn't go that bad, but CGI captain marvel fighting now, I don't think the effects are I guess Barbara just put all its money in Infinity ward. And because I feel Black Panther had some spotty CGI..

"He knew he put together a response team. He believed they would come together. And I think if they lost the battle of New York he would have hit the button on the pager, but they didn't lose. So you could certainly say that fury had every excuse to hit the button during the Terry invasion or during the Kobe with Altron, and it's it's a valid point. But ultimately, he wasn't wrong to not use the pager because the vendors one, and we also know that it takes captain marble a little bit of time to get back because. This was not two seconds that kit that took for a captain marvel to answer the page. Anyway, I mean, this is relatively soon after Infinity war because we still see Steve got his beard. He's not clean-shaven. Like, he wasn't the first endgame trailer. And we can see we can still see the death toll or the missing told just shooting up by the second as they're all watching those graphics on the screen at avengers compound. So this is still relatively soon. But it's not immediate would have taken them time to find the pager get back to avengers compound. And then bypass the battery and whatever else they were doing with their pseudo techy science stuff. But yeah, like there could have been a different time where he hit the pager or maybe hit the pager for New York answer Cova. And then by the time, she showed up he was like never mind. I got it. So that could have happened. But yeah, there could totally be a time between nineteen ninety five and two thousand twelve issue for the avengers or even before Manitou thousand eight where Carol did comeback for something. Because I do think there's a chance the second movie happens. Between not necessarily in the modern day because there's also a confrontation that Ronin teases with Carol danvers, and we wouldn't see that post twenty fourteen because he dies in two thousand fourteen in the first guardians of the galaxy. So if they're ever going to pay off that confrontation between Caroline Ronin than there would be another captain marvel story set between nineteen ninety five and twenty fourteen each day. What would you like to see in the sequel? I don't know. I think I wanted them to go. 'cause Nick though, because we haven't really seen a lot of captain Marvel's sort of caused Nick potential is except for like the first the beginning scenes, so I would like to see captain marvel to or whatever the sequel will be called go a little bit more along the lines of like guardians or thorn in terms..

Where'd you list? Oh, yeah. Like, the seventh on the list of carrying the captain marvel yet idle, so let's go through this list. So the next one up after we have marvel is Monica is at Rambo. Yeah. And that was the second captain marvel was created by writer Roger stern and artist John remedy junior. She first appeared in the mazing Spiderman annual number sixteen in nineteen eighty two. So here I am just thinking that she's been around, you know, recently. I haven't read any captain, marvel comics, and I'm gonna get on it. I read my my friend Sam MAGS actually wrote a book, which often show you. Yeah. Probably. Yeah. We're gonna do a book signing with her. What's so great? Well, but so what it does have info about captain marvel, and it has info about all the women of marvel in it. And so that was when I was reading that it made me want an, and of course, as Bree Larson film has made me want to check it out had I feel behind because we did we did a Harley Quinn episode with Tara strong. Oh nice. And when I was researching for that, I ran across and Harley Quinn. I'm very, you know, I grew up watching Batman animated series. So I'm aware of her. But I ran across mad love that everyone was saying like you have to read this. It's like such an in depth look at her in her relationship with joker, and, you know, her vulnerability, and like kind of her mindset, so I bought it. And I'm like, okay, I need to do this first. Then I'll get into captain, marvel comics have so many things that I'm behind on. Okay. Okay. So Monica Rambo was a police Lieutenant from New Orleans who possesses the power to transform herself into any form of energy. Her powers were briefly altered. So that she cannot transform to energy. But instead can generate a personal force field. Really interesting that they made her a police officer. This was something in a couple of other episodes that we have also talked about during this time like this era where it was very lethal weapon. He like, you know, those like cop, but he caught Orlando cop films were really popular. Yeah. Yes. It was really because they also did that we talked about in our Black Panther episode. They did it with two Challah or at least with Black Panther. I forgot his name at the time. But they made him until police officer in the nineties. Oh my gosh. Yeah. And so what's really cool about that? Is that in and I'm trying to stay away from the trailers kind of went after I've seen like the first initial ones. But you if you stop it, you know, the wonderful world of DVR. And people on the internet than they put it up that Monica in her in her airplane is says photon is. So that's a total lake. Nice. Little eastgate. Call out to her being photon in the comics. Oh, yeah. See I wouldn't it which is pretty rod. I would I feel like I'm gonna need to take a box of tissues to the movie because I'm just going to be like, oh my God. That's that's how I was with one with wonder woman. Yeah. Wonder woman's no-man's-land seen oh dot every I know every time I just wanted to and also I think like it was the music. It was so much about it just seen her and kind of like her inability to understand why we're cowards. So, you know, she just she saw these, you know, she saw these people dying and was like I I love that line. That's like what you do. What I do is not. Up to you. Oh, yeah. And captain marvel says something similar I feel in her trailer off to I'm gonna look at it. You know, I'm gonna look it up. I mean, look it up right now because we're going to take a break.

"At least not in my neck of the woods said face but true face and we get to see a lot of, you know, captain marvel and action. We get see a much younger Samuel Jackson. Which is Nick fury. So gay miss younger him. I don't remember if we see Colson in this trailer, but I wanna say we do. We get to see a lot of captain marvelous, Humby humble beginnings, I think we could see some of the scrolls I think, but I don't fully remember, but I do remember that. Yeah, this is a really big deal. Captain marvel is supposedly, and I don't know this person. I haven't read a lot of the marvel comics, but supposedly is one of the strongest characters in the marvel universe. We're talking stronger than than os stronger than LOKI stronger than a lot of the characters we've seen so far in them see us. She supposedly be out of the water and we have seen MS, captain marvel. Excuse me. Captain marvel a bit already. She's showing up on Marvel's avengers a cartoon show that's on. Disney d, it's achy in its fifth season now, and she's also shown up a little bit on marvel Spiderman. The new sperm in cartoon is also Disney exte-. But you know, it's only they only been big pieces here and there you know believe she's been marvels of injuries for a while now, and that's a show I've just only recently gotten into. But yeah, I'm actually they had at wonder con this year, this last year in March. They didn't agents of shield panels do every year. But yeah, the guy who plays Colson wasn't there and now was because he was shooting for, you know, captain marvel and yeah, we're going to see, you know, younger, Nick fury in this movie, we're gonna see a younger coal agent Colson. This movie, we kind of get see, like, you know, a a shield, it's going to be kinda different from than we see on the show. Now I think that's fair to say. We see in this trailer, really cool. Nick fury, supposedly going to hang into dense thinking on, you know what to heck with this to heck with this job to heck with this life. And I guess he says in the trailer that you know, you know, you kind of change that for me. I don't remember if we achy see what the bad guy of captain marvel is going to be in this trailer. I don't think so, but I'm not honestly sure, but this is our first look at this movie. It probably won't be our last look, but yet almost seems like in parts of the trailer may be captain marvel herself, maybe a bad guy. 'cause they're, they do show a see in this trailer where you see her training with other people who wearing a similar in a uniform as she is. And again, since I'm not a big marvel comic reader, I don't know if that means Hainault. They're good guys or if they're bad guys. I'm not really sure. And again, I'm not fully clear on. Why exactly she, you know where she gets her powers from exactly, and I'm sure the movie it self will delve deeper into that. But yeah, like this isn't movie because I'll say this right now for me when it comes to marvel and MC you, they know what they're doing ever since you know ironman, they've proven, they know what they're doing..

Now, what I would do is add since being a kid and I would try to onto hypnosis so he was unaware that he had all the abilities run-in when they needed him. They just like sleeper agent in they, they gave him the code and then he was up. Okay. When the martial arts and the same with. There was a, there was a character called Jack hawks more in the series called the authority, which was like a Warren Ellis series that was like the avengers, but they violent, oh, good. And he was constantly as a kid. He was constantly being abducted and like experimented on and like given mole like cyborg abilities sent him back and they don't know. Oh, he knew, but he just didn't know who was doing it was a paper from the future. Oh, no, yeah. Now, right. But I think that might be what's? What's your theory about this there is that she gets inducted spice. We'll taking spice after an explosion of accident, or maybe it's intentional and she's working for the Cray. Cray. Really the bad goes. Everybody on that team looks able and is a villain from the comments. It's true. Right? And I don't think Jude lorries kept a Abu. I think he's gone rogue all the bad guy, the able, the captain the man captain models on. Yes, that's right. Or or you could be an amalgamation of maybe the original captain level sucks and he is the original cabinet novel here. What do you base that on? Because we. Only say for like a second because I think. Nobody has said he's captain marvel. Marvel of never said it's listed as that in a few places, but marvel of never said officially that he's kept. They say he's a mental and he's a craven attic and Ron. Okay with Ronin. And so I just think, well, he might be maybe he's like a deadbeat Dad Khan. He's captain mile will, but he just he's just played. Terrible sucks maybe because we don't want you don't have to have a captain marvel in this. It doesn't matter. No. And I thought also maybe the possibility that there is no original captain marvel in this. She's she's the first one. Yeah. And maybe like we talked about in that video, we're talking about origin. Maybe this version is a scrawl with the members of Carol danvers who's who's been kidnapped and brainwashed by the creative fought the scrolls Rhonda maybe. But I don't think this is. I don't think she's the simplest, the Craig good in the scrolls about, I think some of the scrolls might be good as I agree. Yeah, that's probably true son, but wouldn't that may. Mean that by the end of this movie, we have a cre- characters actually scroll. Yes, which I think would be interesting on the end. And And all I I think is. is also we don't what we don't say. This is we don't say what the scrawls can do it all. Yeah, we'll see what they look like. Well, I can shape shift because he, she punches that woman in the head. Now somebody pointed out, I don't know if this is true. Is that also Bray Lawson who's getting punched? That'd be as the old lady, something that is something I don't know if this is confirmed on Auburn. A lot of people I saw on Al planet broadcasting, groom, people win that spray Lawson really old lady. Mike up. She's punching us l. I thought it looked like an all night signed, but they maybe it is maybe it's, I don't know if that is true or not. Sure. Yeah. But I mean, that could be a case of that. Could that could laid lend credence to the idea that this two of them once Qantas girl in one isn't the Iran. It could also be because if she's being -ducted than that. That wouldn't account for how all that light is..

"So check that out only in the show notes, and there's one last thing I wanted to bring up that we are running way overtime, but there they also released the first teaser poster for captain marvel which features an interesting hidden Easter egg. So if you wanted to cover that, now you go to go search the captain marvel poster and see if you can find it. But if you want to be spoiled and you want to know about it, Chris is gonna tell us about it. Crystal tell us about it. So in the the left hand corner of the captain marvel poster, you see a cat, but and. If you don't know the captain marvel lure, you might just think I'm using little cat cameo. But in doing research, I learned that captain marvel actually has a cat in the comics named chewy. And as it turns out this cat actually isn't really a cat. It's just an alien that looks like a cat. So the. You know, it seems to hint that this alien cat will indeed be appearing in the film in some form. And so there you have it the this, this the seems like affirmed. There's a lot more to this movie than this trailer. Certainly, let's on because there's no cat in the trailer. So be on the lookout for the alien cat in captain marvel. It's theaters next year. You know, just hearing about this makes me think that the alien cat is still the show. Just just imagine that we're going to have, you know, it's memes and gifts, and it's going to be like, you know, the new poor, it's going to be the poor of the marvel cinematic universe, but and it's it's kind of fun that they put him. They hid the cat in the poster. I know I was looking through Twitter and when it first showed up that like people were like, oh, there's cat there. Some people didn't actually believe that was in the poster like thought it was just like, you know, someone like, Chris, I know you like to foot shop things in tweet out images to to troll people and. Actually thought this was fake to until I went back and looked at the actual Email from Disney. And so it really was in there. Yeah, it's a cat, but which makes it even better. Yeah, go check it out.

"Said one hundred tons so the most relevant thing for this fight about her absorption abilities is that she can absorb magic and we know that captain marvel is all about magic everything about him uses with magic carol wants teamed with doctor strange to fight one of his arch magic villains sir will warren traveler in this marvel volume two issue five and she was able to absorb magical energies in that book she was even able to absorb the magical energies of strange has house that's the sanctum sanctorum which is the most powerful magic spot on earth so if she could absorb magical abilities like shams powers this fight is over and the longer it goes the more it favors caps norval because she would constantly have an incredible source of magic on end for her to absorb with zam he wouldn't be an opponent he would be a battery so i'm going to say the longer it goes the more the odds are in captain marvel speaker and she's an would have to finish her quickly and i don't think that anyone is beating captain marvel quickly and already talked about his most glaring weakness that she's zam has is that he transforms back and forth from being a little boy after speaking the words zam but there's one more piece to it he has to get hit by the lightning so rare imagine this if she zam gets hit by his own lightning during this fight because carol absorbs it and sends it back to him while he's inches and form she's gonna turn them back into billy batson because she can absorb it and send it right back to them so she can just absorbs lightning throw him back and then he's billy again then it would just be a matter of flicking on the forehead and putting him to sleep so he can't speak the words again that was an incredibly impressive.

We are excited to announce Amazon. Lookout for Metrics is now available in preview today.
Why Use Amazon Lookout for Metrics for Anomaly Detection?
Organizations across all industries are looking to improve efficiency in their business through technology and automation. While challenges may vary, what’s common is that being able to identify defects and opportunities early and often can lead to material cost savings, higher margins, and better customer experience.
Traditionally, organizations rely on manual audits of large amounts of data, which is not scalable and is prone to human error. Others use rule-based methods based on arbitrary ranges, which are often static, do not easily adapt to seasonality changes, and lead to too many false detections.
When anomalies are detected, developers, analysts, and business owners can spend weeks trying to identify the root cause of the change. These are situations where ML can be an effective and transformational tool. However, ML algorithms need to be carefully selected, trained, tested, and deployed for each type of data – requiring a skilled team of ML experts.
Amazon has a long history of being a data-driven company, with a growing number of businesses that need to stay on top of the health of their business, operations, and customer experience. A key part of this effort over the years has involved building and improving ML technology to detect anomalies in key performance indicators (KPI) such as website visits from different traffic channels, number of products added to the shopping cart, number of orders placed, revenue for every product category, and more.
Amazon Lookout for Metrics puts the same ML technology used by Amazon in the hands of every developer. It finds anomalies in your data, groups them intelligently, helps you visualize aggregated results, and automates alerts.
Because it’s a fully managed service, it takes care of the whole ML process so you can get started quickly and focus on your core business. And most importantly, the service improves model performance continually by incorporating your real-time feedback on the accuracy and relevance of the anomalies and root cause analysis.
How Amazon Lookout for Metrics Works
You can get started with Lookout for Metrics with just a few clicks in the AWS Management Console. Without having to write any code, you connect your data to the service through the built-in data source integrations; next Lookout for Metrics trains a custom model for your data; and finally, it begins detecting anomalies for you to review and start taking action on.
Lookout for Metrics continuously monitors data stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS), Amazon Redshift, Amazon CloudWatch, or SaaS integrations supported by Amazon AppFlow such as Salesforce, Marketo, Google Analytics, Slack, Zendesk, and many more.
During this phase, you can flag each field in your dataset as a measure (or KPI), dimension, or timestamp. For example, if you want to monitor abnormal changes in page views for every device type separately, then you would select page_views as the measure and device_type as the dimension.
Once your data source is configured and connected, Lookout for Metrics inspects and prepares the data for analysis and selects the right algorithm to build the most accurate anomaly detection model. This detector runs on your data at a configurable cadence (every few minutes, hourly, daily, and so on) and provides a threshold dial that allows you to adjust its sensitivity.
When detecting an anomaly, Lookout for Metrics helps you focus on what matters the most by assigning a severity score to aid prioritization. To help you find the root cause, it intelligently groups anomalies that may be related to the same incident and summarizes the different sources of impact (as shown below).
Moreover, you can configure an automatic action such as sending a notification via Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS), Datadog, PagerDuty, Webhooks, or Slack. Or you can trigger a Lambda function, for example to temporarily hide a product on your e-commerce site when a potential pricing error is detected.
Domain knowledge and expertise can often play an important role in determining if a sudden change in a metric is expected or is an anomaly. Lookout for Metrics allows you to provide real-time feedback on the relevance of the detected anomalies, enabling a powerful human-in-the-loop mechanism. This information is fed back to the anomaly detection model to improve its accuracy.
Who’s Using Amazon Lookout for Metrics Today?
Digitata Networks offers intelligent customer, network and site-centric solutions that assist Mobile Network Operators to monitor, audit, control and automate different aspects of their network. Company CTO Nico Kruger has been pleased with the results he’s seen so far from using Lookout for Metrics.
“We discovered the improved accuracy and insights that Lookout for Metrics can bring to our existing solution and we are thrilled to use the service…we can quickly identify opportunities in addition to finding issues,” he said.
Playrix, one of the leading mobile game developers in the world, known for high-quality games such as Township, Fishdom, and Gardenscapes, is another customer that’s been working with the new service. “We experimented with our user acquisition data to understand how the service works and it quickly identified and grouped anomalies enabling us to work faster and better,” said Mikhail Artyugin, Playrix technical director.
“Lookout for Metrics has saved our team many hours of manual investigation and now notifications are viewed as actionable rather than noise, allowing our teams to easily focus on strategic priorities with less technical overhead,” he added.
“Working with almost a billion impressions every day to capture insights and intent for our customers, we need quick feedback on real data anomalies,” said Brian Ecker, a senior staff engineer at NextRoll, a marketing and data technology company with the mission to provide innovative solutions to companies to keep them growing.
“After working with the Lookout for Metrics team, we saw the improved accuracy that the new service can bring to our existing anomaly detection process and we are thrilled to start using it.”
It’s also worth noting that APN partners such as TensorIoT, Quantiphi, and Provectus have expertise in Lookout for Metrics and can help customers leverage its functionalities.

Supporting the apparel retailer’s X-Temp line, the new digitally-led campaign gamifies the sweepstakes with a never before executed Canvas Ad unit tactic that creates a “choose your own adventure” style experience, leading users into different scenarios MJ finds himself in. Does he help the guy struggling on the bench press or just keep walking through the gym? Does he steal the bride’s spotlight or help get her groom back on track?
Hanes’ X-Temp technology is designed to adapt to a wearer’s temperature and activity, aiming to keep them cool in all situations. So, in each Canvas Ad scenario, the viewer is encouraged to choose what they think someone as chill as MJ would do and based on their selection, the experience guides them to the next setting and ultimately to the sweepstakes homepage.

Very sad news GarySpeed
It appears, tragically, he took his own life. It's very sad.
AitchBEE, I can't imagine how desperate or low a person must be to feel suicide is the only way out, it must be a very dark place, condolences to his family ...alB
"it must be a very dark place, "
Trust me, it is.
The feeling of utter hopelessness, bleak anguish and ineffectiveness cannot be described, a wilderness with despair in every direction.
I was lucky, I was pulled back from the brink.
I feel so desperately sorry for anyone else who didn't have the same breaks.
I hope you have found peace Gary.
morddwyd - I'm glad you overcame your depths of depression.....I like your attitude.
Mr Speed might be alive today, if he had talked to his GP. at the first signs of any distress. When I knew I was depressed I talked to my doctor about it. I am alive and well today - 25 years on.
HB
I can take no credit.
Entirely due to tlc from dedicated NHS staff.
morddwyd
I, too, was lucky enough to escape that same dark space. It was touch and go for a while.
Gary Speed obviously didn't get the same good fortune, which is desperately sad.
Whatever troubled him does so no longer.
"Whatever troubled him does so no longer"
Indeed it won't, pity his close family will not get their peace of mind because of the apparent manner of his demise.
I suppose the present situation with the media has stopped them having wild guesses as to the "Why's and Wherefore's". Let's hope it stays that way and they keep their noses out of the family's way. RIP Gary.

WiFi as WAN uses an outside WiFi network as its Internet source. When WiFi as WAN is enabled, the router will find other WiFi networks that you can select and connect to. Unless a selected WiFi source is on an unprotected network, you will need to know its password or key.
To enable WiFi as WAN, first select the desired WiFi radio:
- WiFi Radio #1 (2.4 GHz)
- WiFi Radio #2 (5 GHz)
All CradlePoint routers and some other routers use the same default IP address for the primary network: 192.168.0.1. If you attempt to set up WiFi as WAN and there is an “IP conflict,” you need to change the IP address. The router is attempting to use the same IP address for both WAN and LAN, which is impossible. Go to Network Settings → WiFi / Local Networks. Select the network and click Edit. You can change the IP address under IPv4 Settings. For example, you might change 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1.
Saved Profiles
This is a list of WiFi networks that have already been configured as WAN sources. The router will attempt to connect to any of these access points using the password you have configured. If more than one access point is in range, then the router will connect with the highest priority network.
Network: The name (SSID, or Service Set Identifier) that is broadcast by the access point.
BSSID: The numeric ID of the network (Basic Service Set Identifier). This parameter is required when trying to connect to a hidden network using WiFi as WAN. It is optional when connecting to a visible network. If it is set in a profile, both the SSID and BSSID must match to connect to an access point. If the BSSID is not set in a profile, then the router will connect to any access point that matches the given SSID.
Auth Mode: The type of encryption that is used by the network.
- None
- WEP Auto
- WEP Open
- WEP Shared
- WPA1 Personal
- WPA2 Personal
- WPA1 & WPA2 Personal
You have two options for adding network profiles:
- Automatic – Select a WiFi network in Site Survey and click Import.
- Manual – Click on Add under Saved Profiles and input the required information.
Site Survey
This is a list of WiFi networks that the router can currently find, along with information about the network such as its mode and channel. Click “Refresh” if a WiFi network you want to connect to is invisible. You can sort the list based on any of the fields by clicking on the field name.
If you import a network from Site Survey, most of the information about the network will already be completed. You need to input the password (if there is one) and then click submit to save the WiFi as WAN profile.
Wireless Scan Settings
Scan Interval: How often WiFi as WAN scans the environment for updates. (Default: 60 seconds. Range: 5–3600 seconds.)
Scan While Connected: Continue to scan for WiFi as WAN profile updates when connected. Each time a scan occurs the wireless communication of the router will be temporarily interrupted. Normally this should be disabled. |

This afternoon I had coffee with a guy who wants to leave his day job to work freelance.
He asked all the right questions — how to know when it’s time to make the leap, what he should do to prepare, whether it’s the right decision. And while I have my answers right here in my head, I figured I’d get them on
paper the blog to share with you.
While I no longer consider myself a freelancer — this post explains why — I did start out that way, and the hustle is still a big part of my business. Whether you want to make a living as a freelance writer or start a custom carpentry business, it makes sense to set yourself up for success while you still have the security of your day job (if you can).
With that in mind, here are the most important pieces of advice I shared today:
This is one of the biggest factors that keeps go-getters from taking advantage of the new world of work, and rightly so. (It’s so big that I’m working on an ebook on the topic!)
But while it feels like a huge, daunting obstacle, the truth is that you can break it down into manageable bits. Figure out just how much you spend each month, so you know how much money you need to make to avoid dipping into your savings or going into debt. You can always earn more later — and you will — but this is your baseline.
Then make a plan for how you’ll bring in enough work to hit that baseline revenue, and start doing it. These two posts offer more advice about the financial side of working for yourself.
Do this while you’re still in your day job, because this is the client that will help you make a change that will actually last.
A core client — that’s my own term, so if you haven’t heard it before, don’t feel like you’re behind on freelancing lingo — is someone who pays you a retainer month after month, a paycheck you can depend on. Once you have a core client under your belt, you can cobble together the rest of your income. Even a small bit of stable revenue makes that possible.
Start now. It will take a while to grow the type of network you’ll need to develop a stable of clients, and the more of a headstart you can give yourself, the better.
Be strategic in your networking, so you have both a community of people who will support you when you leave your job and a whole lot of warm contacts who might want to hire you (or know someone who might want to hire you).
Create a website that shows why people should hire you (here are some examples of portfolio sites from The Write Life), and get active on social media. Do this while you’re still at your day job, so you’re already well on your way to an awesome online community when you really need it.
If you do this well, you will never have to look for work. Instead, clients will find you. This is the sole reason my Socialexis team has never had to look for clients: we always have a steady stream of inquiries. Having an impressive online presence that demonstrates both your work and your network is the best possible form of inbound marketing.
Figure out exactly what you’ll offer, and be able to explain that offering to anyone who asks. Also make what you offer clear on your website. Even if you offer a bunch of different services, nail down your main service and work the others in around that. No one will hire you if they don’t understand or can’t remember exactly how you can help them.
Before you make the jump, there will be a tipping point — and you’ll feel it. You should be pushing as hard as you can on your side gig, working mornings and/or evenings and/or weekends, while still working your full-time job — until you can’t push anymore.
This is not easy, of course, which is why only true go-getters get through it. Max out for as long as you can without burning out, until you have the other pieces (see above) in place. That’s when it’s time to take the plunge.
Don’t jump the gun; you want to set a solid foundation before making the transition, so you’re more likely to succeed on the other side. But you’ll never feel fully ready, and eventually you’ll have to push yourself to pull the trigger.
Self-employment isn’t for everybody — you have to be highly self-motivated and able to deal mentally with the uncertainty of an inconsistent income. But if you can get past those two obstacles, being your own boss is amazing. It sets you up for more autonomy, creativity and income than you’ve likely seen before. At first it will feel terrifying, and then…
FREEDOM.
What other advice would you give to someone who’s thinking about leaving their job to become self-employed?
P.S. I also have an ebook on this topic: Turn Your Side Hustle Into a Full-Time Business. It’s geared toward go-getters in the digital world, with a focus on building your email list, selling ebooks and ramping up revenue.
10 Replies to “7 Tips for Transitioning from Day Job to Freelancer or Entrepreneur”
You should never leave your work just to become a freelancer if you’ve never freelance before. People have this crazy idea that freelancing is easy only to regret it afterwards
I *just* experienced #6! I was pushing myself hard to work in the mornings, nights, and all through the weekends. Once I had lined up enough work, I was able to leave my 9-5 grind with no worries. It was SO worth it!
I plan to quit my dead-end-job to become a full time fictional writer yet I intend to try pitching articles on sites where they pay for guest blogging. Being a self-published author doesn’t require a core clients as by freelancing but at least 1000 true fans. Yet being an entrepreneur takes you to have the guts, jump into the experience when you intuition tells you: “now!”.
As Steve Scott says: “Take action, get results”.
These are awesome tips. Sometimes you can feel trapped, but you never are if you’re willing to put in the work to get where you want to be!
Alexis – These are some of the best and most realistic tips for success that I’ve seen. A lot of motivational ‘quit your job’ content is so focused on just taking the leap that I think we sometimes forget that there are some very foundational things (i.e. FINANCES) we can do to better prepare ourselves for success once we jump. Thank you for breaking it down!
I also think that we all are in very different situations and can take on more or less risk as a result, and that’s perfectly okay. It’s not a one-size fits all kind of thing. As a 30-something who’s married and has two kiddos, I find myself more focused on financial security than someone who may be right out of school, for example. As a solution, my husband and I reviewed our options and set specific financial goals which we revisit every 2 weeks while I ‘side hustle.’ We’re close to achieving our goal and both feel like we’re on a path and not lost in the sea of mediocrity.
Awesome advice! Love how you broke it down step-by-step. I’ll definitely be passing this on to anyone who asks about leaving their day job!
Hi, Lexi!
Awesome article! I’m way more of a risk-taker — and was more fortunate in many ways — than most folks who choose to make this transition, but if I had a do-over, I’d follow your advice. At least some of it :-). And as a result, I’d probably save myself a lot of the grief I’m currently going through.
Just wanted you to know I curated this for my own blog, quityourjobandthrive.blogspot.com. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts with that lucky guy at the coffee shop — and with us!
Hi Alexis
I have been following your blog and enjoy your advice as it is so down-to-earth and relevant to me. I have felt overwhelmed with other experts who confuse me with jargon and tech-speak!
Number 6 is tricky for me as Im trying to balance family life with part-time work and writing a travel blog in France but your posts give me motivation and have helped me immensely at seeing the big picture.
Thanks for the inspiration and advice
With hard work, perseverance and a good financial life line in reserve it a person may be able to make the transition. It will take discipline, but it can be done.
A must read for all who aspires to be a writer. This is a good jump start for all, thanks for sharing this. |

Welcome to Rainbow Snippets and Snippet Sunday! Today, Nicolas loses his temper…
* * *
Piter watched him, a sneer lifting his ripe lips. “It won’t save them, Jamie. We can get into any house we want, whenever we wish. Truth, my dear Nicolas of Myra?”
Nico replied, his voice low, menacing, “Bastardo. Silenzio, Knecht Ruprecht, dark helper, before I stuff you up a chimney.”
Piter laughed. “Ho, ho! Not such a saint after all, my love. Careful, or our dear Jamieson here will start wondering about you.”

I like that he gives Piter what for. Great snippet, Dianne. 🙂
I loved the chimney line! Great snippet.
I love the way you’re playing with the legends and folklore here 🙂
I love the chimney line and the reply of Nico not being such a saint. Great snippet!
Is it wrong that i think Nico losing his temper is kinda hot?
Great snippet, Dianne! 🙂
That does seem ominous (say I, as I give my chimney a sideways glance). Great snippet!
Really loved that last line
🙂 A fun snippet! Nico is… Interesting. And hot.
Very intriguing, I like the banter between them! 🙂
Oh those ripe lips…
Love the chimney insult to Piter! Great snippet, as always. I’m very hooked on this book, it’s just an interesting storyline.
Interesting snippet. I have to agree, with the others. I like the chimney insult. 🙂
I think it’s good that Piter is here to have things move forward a bit.
Love the interplay between the two of them. |

Match Land RPG is a touch of an intriguing diversion at that.
Above all else it is a confuse diversion. It is an amusement where you have to illuminate riddles to battle foes in a turn based battle workman diversion. Alternate components incorporate developing your gathering and improving them much. At that point at last you need to open up nourishment shops where you can then continue to make some salary. That sounds a considerable measure of fun and bother so ensure you utilize our Match Land hacks, tricks, tips and guide.
Concentrate the board before moving
Coordinate Land is a group of gameplay however we should begin first with the fight mechanics. It is a great 2D turn based fight amusement.
Before you get the chance to assault, you have to unravel bewilders much like tile coordinating diversions. You won’t clear up the sheets however as you will coordinate tiles to make the energy of your characters unleash a more grounded assault.
The image on the tiles are the image on your characters. Presently the minute you coordinate a tile, the clock will start. Prior to the clock runs out, you can in any case coordinate tiles to unleash more assaults.
The more tiles you coordinate, the more the clock increments. In any case it is perfect to investigate the board to perceive the amount you can coordinate with the goal that you can unleash all the more intense assaults. Make sure to murder the adversaries before they take you out.
Bear in mind your shops
The plot with respect to why you are battling creatures is on the grounds that you are opening shops utilizing parts of these beasts as fixings. The more you play the amusement, the more shops you can open. The critical thing to recollect is to open your shop with the goal that it can profit.
There is a clock where you can see when you can gather the assets. Bear in mind to gather the assets and open the shop again with the goal that you can acquire cash. On the off chance that you simply leave the cash uncollected, nothing will occur except for you can’t create new cash until you gather it so enhance your time.
Your legends
You will utilize your saints in these fights. Legends have various types of qualities and capacities that they can use in the fight. You are given three starting saints so later on you can open a greater amount of them as you keep on playing Match Land.
The thing to recollect is that you can just convey various saints at once yet it is as yet perfect to open more legends. The other thing is that you can step up your saints. Leveling them up requires legend puppets that you can get. These dolls are required for opening legends and in addition gold that you can get from your shops and in the levels. At the point when your saint achieves a specific level, they can be developed into something new which is constantly great and that is truly pleasant.

Models, actresses and singers all want to be designers these days. From Coco Rocha’s recently launched line to Nicole Richie’s boho-inspired collection, there’s no shortage of crossover into fashion designer. The latest photogenic faces trying their hand at designer? Lily Allen and Jessica Stam. The latter tweeted yesterday, “Just finished my first design meeting with @Rachel_Roy. I’m doing a capsule collection with her for Macy’s. So much fun sketching designs!”
As for Allen, she’s leaving music altogether to pursue her sartorial passions. First up, Allen plans to launch a vintage shop in London called Lucy in Disguise, which she’ll curate along with her sister, Sarah Owen. “Allen and Owen will cherry-pick vintage pieces for the shop under the mentorship of Wayne and Gerardine Hemingway, the English vintage gurus who have helped turned Camden Market into the destination it is today,” Style.com says of the soon to launch shop. But, Allen’s mission isn’t only to find and then pass along beautiful items.
In fact, the shop is a statement of sorts against fast fashion. “The thing I love about vintage is that it’s all incredibly well made, like Chanel—it lasts forever,” she says. “Hopefully, Lucy in Disguise will be an education as well, teaching customers there’s something other than mass-produced rubbish.”

My only knew we learned most of everything we do out of plain force.
“Necessity is the mother of invention.”
In other words, if someone really needs to do something, they will find a way of doing it.
For us, it involves research and asking questions. TONS of questions.
Plus reading.
When a friend suggested that I offer the DIY Bundle to my readers, I thought no, they don’t need it or I don’t want to be seen as selling something useless.
But, then I thought about it…
And realized maybe this is the kick in the pants someone wants or needs to start doing their own projects. (Including Crafts!!! I love doing CRAFTS! It makes me happy to make nice things for my home and family.)
My husband needed that first push many years ago, by me. He says constantly that I am the reason that he is constant DIY mode. Mainly, because I knew there was NOTHING too difficult that he couldn’t handle. If he messed up – well, he would have to figure out a better way.
So that is why I am offering the DIY bundle on here.
The thing is it is only available for a limited time. I don’t like to be rushed but this will be over soon, so I needed to at least offer it to you.
The bundle has 76 books and ecourses that can be read on your computer, Kindle App, iPhone, iPad or other electronic device at your convenience.
If you are like me, you still have questions. Please feel free to go to the FAQ page and see if your question is on there. It probably is and if you still have a question, ask me in the comments. 🙂
OH – the BONUSES!
Yes, that was plural!
The bonuses are worth it all! They are worth over $100 alone.
The total is worth over $1200 for just $35.So if you are still interested, just click here!
Blessings to you! You are loved!

Apple continues to collect data on foot in California as it works to rebuild the Maps app
Last month, we showed you a picture of a backpack wearing Apple employee who was collecting pedestrian data for Apple Maps while walking along the streets of San Francisco. It isn't hard to pick out these Apple employees, who are wearing backpacks that read Apple Maps. In addition, parts of the cameras and sensors used to collect data can be seen sticking out of the backpack.
If you see some one walking along the streets of the aforementioned counties in California, carrying a backpack with some strange equipment popping out of it, there is no reason to be alarmed. He/she is probably collecting pedestrian data for Apple Maps.
When Apple Maps debuted on iOS 6, replacing Google Maps, the app was not ready for prime time. With the app providing incorrect directions, showing mislabeled street signs and even countries, there wasn't much Apple CEO Tim Cook could do except to suggest that users count on the competition, like Google Maps, until Apple cleaned up Maps. Many iOS device owners to this day continue to stick with Google Maps for navigation, and Apple is hoping to win them back by rebuilding Apple Maps from scratch, using data it collected on its own.

For this beautiful Friday in October, here is a picture taken one day when Sherry and probably Lindy next door were playing dressup. She is so pretty and stylish in an old dress of mine that I think was blue and white and was princess style. She wears a fur collar and it is topped off with a very pretty hat that looks just a wee bit like a flying saucer. Yes, I wore that also!
Looks like the same hat to me!! (Click to enlarge)
5 comments:
I laughed and laughed over that flying saucer hat--I'm sure it is the same one. lol Thank you for sharing these wonderful old photos.
Looks to me like you need some fried rice and an egg roll with that hat. lol
Boy are you digging deep for the Fashion Fridays! My girls all played dressup with that fur, I think, or one like it. It's probably still in a box somewhere in the basement!
a comment all the way from Africa! Miss you Grandma, hope to talk to you soon! :)
Carol - I have a pic with my Mum wearing something similar - must have been the style then LOL. |

As a Xamarin mobile developer ever wonder, why we need to write some much of code in PCL and iOS projects to do simple Native feature, some of which are usually one-liners code natively.
Xamarin has now introduced a nice nifty feature that helps us to write code in Xamarin Forms in the form of Platform Specifics.
In short, Platform Specifics helps us to consume the features or functionalities that are only available on iOS, without needing to implement custom renderers or effects in the required platform project.
One of the best example to understand these features is the Blur effect. Platform specifics are baked into the Xamarin and it is ready to use.
Below are the steps to test this feature
Create a Xamarin Forms project
Namespaces: It is important to understand Xaml namespaces to get to know about Xamarin specifics. Below is the required namespace on each page.
xmlns:ios=“clr-namespace:Xamarin.Forms.PlatformConfiguration.iOSSpecific;assembly=Xamarin.Forms.Core“
Blur Effect
Below the way we can define Blur effect on a box view, this effect can be implemented on any visual elements in Xamarin Forms.
<BoxView x:Name=“boxView“ ios:VisualElement.BlurEffect=“Dark“ HeightRequest=“50“ WidthRequest=“50“ />
Blur effect has enumeration options to be set to it.
- Dark – applies a Dark blur effect
- Light – applies the light blur effect
- ExtraLight – applies an extra light blur effect
- None – applies no blur effect
Below is sample code for various blur effects we can notice

These orange blossom saffron cream buns are fluffy, soft and infused with subtle flavors! An utterly delicious treat to try ASAP!
The origins of cream buns:
They are called Semla (Sweden) Splits (England) or maritozzi (Italy) but cream buns exist all around the world under different names. It’s usually a sweet yeasted dough baked into individual sizes and filled with cream.
This version makes soft, chewy and lightly sweetened cream buns infused with saffron and filled with a light and airy orange blossom flavored cream.
How to make these orange blossom saffron cream buns:
The buns are made with simple ingredients, but what makes them special is saffron! I used real saffron treads, which gives this dough its beautiful, golden color and a really pleasant taste.
If you have a stand mixer, these will take minimal effort to make. After you make the dough, it’s just a matter of shaping it into balls and baking it to golden perfection.
The cream comes together very easily by combining soy milk, corn starch, coconut sugar, orange blossom water, vanilla and a dash of turmeric (for the color) in a saucepan.
Simmered until it thickens, the cream will be ready in less than 10 minutes. Once ready, chill in the fridge for a couple of hours.
Next, fold-in some whipped coconut cream (or whipped aquafaba for a lighter consistency- see recipe notes for information) in your chilled orange blossom infused cream.
Now, fill your buns with the cream and serve immediately! It’s as easy as that! Garnish with pistachios and serve!
These saffron & orange blossom cream buns are a delicious treat to enjoy with your friends and family for brunch or for tea time!
What you might need to make these orange blossom saffron cream buns:
These orange blossom saffron cream buns are fluffy, soft and infused with subtle flavors! An utterly delicious treat to try ASAP!
- 3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup soy milk
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 4 tbsp vegan butter or coconut oil
- 2 tbsp ground flax seeds
- 1 tbsp saffron threads
- 1 tbsp orange blossom water
- 3 tsp active dry yeast
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- pinch of sea salt
- 2 cup soy milk
- 1/2 cup corn starch
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 3 tbsp orange blossom water
- 1 tbsp vegan butter or coconut oil
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp turmeric optional, for the color purpose only!
- pinch of sea salt
- 1 cup coconut cream (or 1/3 cup aquafaba) (coconut cream - the solid part from chilled can of full-fat coconut milk)
Start by making the orange blossom flavored cream, as it needs time to chill.
In a small mixing bowl, combine corn starch, coconut sugar, turmeric (if using) and salt. Toss to combine.
In a saucepan, add soy milk, orange blossom water, vanilla extract, and whisk. Add the dry ingredients and whisk to combine. Turn on your stove, and heat your saucepan under medium heat. Whisk continually to avoid sticking while it cooks. Once the liquid come to a boil, it should take about 2 to 3 minutes before the cream starts to thicken.
Remove from heat, transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wraps. You ant your plastic wrap to touch the entire surface of the cream to avoid any skin forming. Chill for a couple of hours in the fridge. When chilled, remove from the fridge, uncover and whisk to loosen the cream. (the cream will slightly solidify after chilling, just whisk it thoroughly to loosen it)
If you are using coconut cream, whip it for about 5 minutes and then using a spatula fold in the whipped coconut cream with the orange blossom cream. Set aside
If you are using aquafaba, whip your aquafaba for 15 minutes or until it reaches soft peaks. Using a spatula, gently fold in the orange blossom cream.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line one or two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan, add soy milk and saffron threads and heat under low heat. You just want to heat the soy milk enough so the saffron can release its flavor and color. You don't need to bring the liquid to a boil. It should take about 1 to 2 minutes. Once your liquid turns a beautiful golden color, transfer to a glass and set aside to cool down (if the liquid is too hot, it will kill your yeast, so give it 10 minutes to cool down)
In the bowl of your stand mixer, add all dry ingredients followed by your saffron-infused soy milk, orange blossom water, and vanilla extract. Start mixing until it forms a uniform dough, then add vegan butter or coconut oil. Knead for 10 to 15 minutes or until the dough is very soft to the touch and shiny.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and leave it to rest for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the dough almost doubles in size.
Once the dough has doubled in size, knead again for a couple of minutes to release the gas. Transfer to a clean floured surface and divide it into about 12 pieces. Roll each piece of dough and shape it between your hands (use some flour if your dough is too sticky to handle)
Place your shaped buns into your baking sheet and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until puffy and slightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and place them on a cooling rack.
Once your buns reach room temperature, use a serrated knife to cut the top part of each bun. Remove some of the inside of the buns to leave a space for the cream. Garnish with the cream and serve.
- The coconut cream version is richer and holds itself better so you can use a piping bag with it. The aquafaba version is much lighter and airy but the cream doesn't hold itself very well. So consider one or the other, depending on how you want the consistency of your cream to be. Other than that, both taste amazing!
- After garnishing the buns with cream, you should serve them immediately.
- The buns can be kept (unfilled) in a covered container at room temperature for 3 to 4 days or frozen for up to 1 month. (if they become harder, place in a preheated oven with a glass of water for a few minutes, to make them softer)
- The cream can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days._4<< |

Starred review No.2
My publisher at Random House in New York, Wendy Lamb, has emailed me a another wonderful review of the U.S. edition of Never Ending. Booklist, the reviews magazine of the American Library Association – aimed at librarians, book groups, readers and students across the U.S. – gave my novel a coveted starred rating and the following write-up (reproduced in full, apart from a one-sentence cut to remove a serious plot-spoiler!):
Fifteen-year-old Shiv and her 12-year-old brother, Declan, accompany their parents to Greece for a two week vacation. Just before they are scheduled to leave, tragedy strikes and three of them return home to bury the fourth. Shiv is consumed by guilt and overwhelmed by grief, believing beyond the shadow of a doubt that Declan’s death was completely her fault.
Unable to function, Shiv allows herself to become a resident at the Korsakoff Clinic, where she will undergo their brand of non-traditional, progressive treatment. Five other teens who bear the wreckage of similar losses constitute the rest of the residents. When asked what she would have done differently, Shiv struggles to find an answer.
Alternating chronological stories of the vacation with the stay at the clinic, Bedford skilfully pushes and pulls at the reader’s emotions while carefully revealing the details of the backstory and the aftermath until the two converge. Hand this compelling novel to readers who thrive on complex narratives. |
Mr. Speaker, on the contrary, the assessment process under the previous Conservative government was among the strongest in the world. That was widely recognized.
In 2012, our previous Conservative government streamlined the process. We did that to increase investor confidence and to increase investment in the energy sector without in any way diminishing environmental standards. That was a very successful process, unlike what we have seen over the last two years, where we have seen billions of dollars of investment driven out of the energy sector. Under the Liberal government's watch, there has been the largest drop in investment in the energy sector over the last two years than Canada has seen in 70 years. That is the record of the Liberal government. |

Korea Moves to Shore Up Depleted Current Account
SEOUL -- The South Korean government, anxious about a swelling current-account deficit, announced a series of steps to boost the stock market and restrain inflation. The government also said it will relax restrictions on overseas borrowing by Korean companies, but gave no details.
Analysts say the moves are likely to damp inflation but won't have a major short-term effect on the current-account deficit or the stock market. On Tuesday, the stock market showed little response to the economic policy statement; the composite |

Once a girl turns fifteen, her name gets put into a raffle. Once a guy turns 18, his name is also entered. The town match-maker chooses a boy and a girl and then on January 1 of each year, the new couple meets. The brides are forced to live in their new 'master's' house for twelve months. If by that time they aren't pregnant or have given birth, they are shunned from the community and some of the girls are killed. Of course, it isn't the husbands fault. Living in a sexist community where women are treated like chattel is disgusting, but more so for 14 year old feminist Jessica Lee.
In a society where men rule and woman follow behind, how will Jessica survive holding her tongue through marriage and what is supposed to follow?

Spring Forward: Director of Sleep Offers Tips on How to Adjust to Daylight Savings
When it comes to sleep, it’s important to be consistent. But how can you do that when every six months you have to adjust to a new sleep schedule?
If you think one hour of sleep doesn’t matter, ponder this:
- The Monday after daylight savings starts there’s a 24% increase in heart attacks
- The Tuesday after daylight saving ends there’s a 21% decrease in heart attacks
Director of Center for Sleep Medicine at Mercy Medical Center Chrisoula Politis, MD offers three tips on how to manage the impending change with ease.
- Stick to your regular schedule. Wake up at your usual time. For example, if you awaken at 7 am most days, do the same on Sunday (clock will read 6am).
- Avoid screen time prior to bed. The light emitted from electronics (cell phones, iPads and laptops) inhibits melatonin and delays sleep.
- Avoid naps. Although a mid-day snooze may be tempting, daytime naps interfere with the body's sleep-wake cycle and make it more difficult to fall asleep at night.
If you believe you are suffering from a sleep.

Hi all, I am currently working in the area of fast handoff management in 802.11 networks, and would like to learn more from this group. I have earlier submitted an individual Internet Draft (ID) to the IETF regarding the above problem. Basically, the ID proposed a way to achieve faster movement detection (MD) when a mobile node moves across several APs which are connected to different networks/providers. It also provides some useful neighborhood discovery (ND) mechanism such that mobile nodes can handoff to their *choice* of networks, based on the *advertised* information of each network. These operation (MD & ND) are critical to achieve *seamless* or *loss-less* IP handover. The proposal leverage on the underlying 802.11 control frames such as Beacon frames to carry *Extensible Information Elements*. You can read the ID for more details at Finally, I feel that the ability to embed *critical* L3 information into L2 frames can provide some *useful hints/confirmations*, such that to allow mobile nodes to perform some *necessary* operation(s) before (after?) an upcoming L2 handoff. I hope that this draft can provide some useful information to this group, and would also like to hear some comment/feedback from the group on the ID. Thank you for your kind attention. Cheers, Paul Tan |
The less work Stephen Lagier and Carole Meredith have to do in their four-acre Syrah vineyard atop Mount Veeder in California’s Napa Valley, the better they like it.
And it’s not just because they’re the main workers, with extra help only brought in at harvest. Rather, Lagier and Meredith aim to grow Syrah grapes in cooperation rather than competition with nature.
The strategy began with site selection, Lagier told growers at a viticulture conference hosted by the B.C. Wine Grape Council in Penticton, British Columbia, Canada, this summer.
"Syrah is about choosing a good site, and I always say it’s better to be lucky than good," said Lagier, a former winemaker at Robert Mondavi, who now produces about 900 cases a year at Lagier Meredith Vineyard. "We found this place and made a wonderful home there and grow incredible Syrah on it."
The site won high praise from Jean-Louis Chave, owner-winemaker of family-owned Domaine Jean-Louis Chave in the northern Rhône region of France.
"Syrah will do very well here because Syrah loves a view," he told Lagier and Meredith.
The property needed a lot of work when Lagier and Meredith bought it in 1986, but they knew when they started planting their vines in 1994 that they would face an uphill battle unless they worked with the topography and other site conditions.
So, for a start, they planted up and down the complex slopes on the property rather than across the slopes, and spaced the rows to make the greatest use of the site without reducing the vines’ access to sunlight. Vines are trained on unilateral cordons.
Cooler climate
The vines are spaced five by seven feet apart, which is designed to optimize the use of sunlight while still allowing access with machinery. Vines are 30 inches off the ground, which suits Lagier and Meredith as the main workers in the vineyard, and the height is also enough to prevent raccoons from enjoying too much of the fruit.
The mountain-top climate allows the fruit to mature gradually.
The Lagier Meredith vineyard averages about 2,800 Fahrenheit degree days a season and benefits from the moderating influences of its 1,300-foot elevation and proximity to San Francisco Bay, which is 15 miles away as the crow flies. The cooler climate suits Lagier, whose preference is for Rhône-style Syrahs rather than the bigger, bolder style characteristic of Shiraz from Australia.
"The cooler you are, the more spice—especially white character and floral characters you’re going to get in Syrah," he said. "As you move to the other mountain growing areas up in the northern part of Napa Valley, you’re going to tend to get these bigger, more fruit-forward wines that tend to push the alcohol higher and make thicker, richer wines and more in the Shiraz style."
The soils in the Lagier Meredith vineyard are also amenable to Syrah. A good clay content controls vigor while allowing minimal irrigation. Thinning of shoots and clusters help control yields, Lagier added, with the harvest running approximately three tons an acre.
"The site controls our vigor fairly well; we control yield," Lagier said.
French clones
He pays special attention to his younger vines, especially five clones he has from l’Etablissement National Technique pour l’Amélioration de la Viticulture in France. Unlike the Durrelle clone that he has, the ENTAV clones have proven fruitful in California.
"Some of these new ENTAV clones on big shoots will put three clusters, which is just ridiculous," Lagier said.
He attributes the abundance to the clones’ origins in France, where spring rains inhibit fruit set.
"When you move those clones to a location like ours where the weather’s beautiful during set, you can get a huge amount of fruit. So, we do a lot of cluster thinning," he said.
The grapes are harvested at between 25 and 26 degrees Brix.
"We want just a little bit of loss of pressure in those berries, so it starts looking a little bit like a golf ball, and that’s usually when there’s best sugar. There’s very little green in the pulp at that point; the seeds are brown; they taste right," he said. "It’s time to get the press."
When the grapes are finally crushed, Lagier and Meredith ensure the character of the harvested fruit shines through in the wine by avoiding extended maceration and using thrice-used barrels that lend very little oak flavor to the wine during aging.
"We want to do our best to get out of the way and let the fruit shine through. So, everything is done as simply as possible," Lagier said. "We try to protect our fruit from too much winemaking because it can stand well alone." |

Enlabeling Sustainability at CCL Label
We have named our sustainability roadmap “The Positive Program – Enlabeling Sustainability” at CCL Label F&B. The program has three main pillars, The Positive Plastic Pledge, Positive Products and Production and The Positive Academy.
Let us take a closer look at these three building blocks…
The Positive Plastic Pledge
Positive Products and Production
One of our largest missions is to monitor and lower our carbon footprint. Action on climate is at the core of what we do and we use a special software to collect all the data from our almost 200 production sites worldwide to set measurable targets.
Our Positive Products are our portfolio of sustainable label choices that puts the goal of the customer first. If reducing the amount of plastic overall is the goal, our extremely thin Triple S Stretch Films might be a great solution. If recycling plastic material is the target, we have several label and sleeve options made from recycled content like rPET or rPP. We have also engineered materials that enable most of the packaging to be recyclable – by performing ideally in the recycling process. EcoStream Labels and EcoFloat Sleeves detach easily, without leaving any trace in the sink/Float process of the recycler – therefore enabling high-quality PET and thus bottle-to-bottle recycling – closing the loop. |
1. EHA’s active lobby presence in Brussels makes a difference in key EU dossiers:
2006: Green paper European strategy for sustainable, competitive and secure
energy: EHA submitted key amendments that were integrated in final text
2007: Regulation to set up the Joint Undertaking for fuels cells and hydrogen
(FCH JU): EHA secured supportive EU Parliament rapporteur
2008: EHA secured inclusion of hydrogen in EU’s 10% renewable energy in
transport target in EU Renewable Energy Directive.
2009: Green Paper on SustainableTransport for Europe: EHA suggested to include
fuel cell electric vehicles in electomobility definition: accepted.
2010: EU Energy Strategy 2011 – 2020 Communication and Energy infrastructure
priorities also beyond 2020 include reference to hydrogen that were
EHA suggested by the EHA.
2011: White Paper on Transport includes references to link SET Plan suggested by EHA
2012: EU Smart Cities and Communities Initiative referred to “using hydrogen as an energy carrier for storing energy and balancing demand at city level for energy and stationary power ..”.
2. EHA is the point of reference for EU decision makers on national developments:
In 2000 six national hydrogen organisations established the European Hydrogen Association (EHA) to promote the use of hydrogen as an energy carrier in Europe; in 2012 the EHA is representing 21 national associations covering membership linking to 300 companies active in hydrogen and fuel cell development in Europe. This unique representation allowes the EHA to be invited to key EU Commission transport and energy policy working groups meetings (Cars 21, Future Transport Fuels Expert Group) to actively contribute instead of react to policy developments
3. EHA facilitates links of industry with of regional and local projects opportunities:
In 2007 the EHA actively supported the establishment of the European Regions and Municipalities Partnership for fuel cells and hydrogen, HyRaMP, representing 30 regions in Europe. Since 2008 the EHA is hosting HyRaMP’s now HyER’s office in Brussels linking industry with regional intiatives and funding opportunities
4. EHA is a dissemination instrument for FCH JU and other EU project results:
EHA supports the dissemination of currently 7 FCH JU projects involving its national association members in financed dissemination activities. This allows national and local stakeholders to gain insight in results, impact and key industrial developments.
5. EHA is writing Europe’s hydrogen history:
– EHA website: 50.000 unique visitors/year, Google “Europe Hydrogen” shows EHA
– Monthly updates with extensive EU policy, national and industry updates;
– EHA database of key past and current EU dossiers relevant to H2 development;
– EHA database of educational programmes and materials in Europe;
– EHA published 6 editions of European hydrogen refuelling infrastructure maps. |
